Postoperative acetabular component position in revision hip arthroplasty: a comparison of the anterior and posterior approaches.
CONCLUSION: Our results suggest that the DAA allows for more reproducible and precise cup placement in RTHA. The safe-zone paradigm remains a useful index of accurate cup positioning and the DAA, with use of intraoperative fluoroscopy, offers more consistent acetabular component positioning when compared to the PA.
