Functional outcome of direct anterior versus posterior approach in total hip arthroplasty: a propensity-matched Asian study

CONCLUSION: In this study, patients who underwent DAA THA had better functional outcome at 2 years and almost 2 days shorter overall LOS than those who underwent PA THA. Therefore, the DAA to THA is a novel technique that has shown improved functional outcomes, with fewer complications compared to PA THA.PMID:38363645 | DOI:10.4103/singaporemedj.SMJ-2021-125
