PROSTHETIC CUP ORIENTATION IS MORE PRECISE IN THE ANTERIOR APPROACH VERSUS THE TRANSGLUTEAL APPROACH
Full Access
The limited field of view with less-invasive hip approaches for total hip arthroplasty can make a reliable cup positioning more challenging. The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of cup placement between the traditional transgluteal approach and the anterior approach in a routine setting. We asked if the (1) accuracy, (2) precision, and (3) number of outliers of the prosthetic cup orientation differed between three study groups: the anterior approach in supine position, the anterior approach in lateral decubitus position, and the transgluteal approach in lateral decubitus position.Introduction
