The effect of 3 commonly used surgical approaches for total hip arthroplasty on mid- to long-term patient-reported outcome measures

CONCLUSIONS: This study shows that all 3 common THA approaches substantially and similarly improve the OHS, EQ-5D-5L Index and VRS between 6 months and 10 years postoperatively. However, patient-reported mobility was poorer after a lateral approach and continued to be so at long-term follow-up.PMID:37743745 | DOI:10.1177/11207000231199342
