Comparison of Two Posterior Soft Tissue Repair Techniques to Prevent Dislocation after Total Hip Arthroplasty via the Posterolateral Approach.

Conclusions: Although no statistical discrepancy in the early dislocation rate between through-bone and through-tendon repair techniques was observed, lower pain scores and higher patient satisfaction supported the former. We recommend that through-bone repair technique should be chosen first by orthopedists when performing reconstruction of the posterior soft tissue in total hip arthroplasty via a posterolateral approach.
