Incidence of Lateral Femoral Cutaneous Nerve Dysfunction After Total Hip Arthroplasty Through the Anterior-Based Muscle-Sparing Surgical Approach.

ABSTRACT:

Background

The anterior-based muscle-sparing (ABMS) approach, using the intramuscular interval between the tensor fascia lata and gluteus medius, is an increasingly popular total hip arthroplasty (THA) approach. Its incidence of lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) numbness has not been defined. The incidence of LFCN symptoms in direct anterior THA ranges from 7%-32% at 1-year follow-up. The purpose of this study is to determine the incidence of LFCN symptoms in patients who underwent ABMS THA at 1-year follow-up.

Methods

This was a single-center, multisurgeon retrospective study of ABMS THAs with minimum 1-year follow-up data between January 2014 and September 2021. Eight hundred sixty-nine THAs were included. Mean age of the patients was 67.2 years, with 43.4% male and 5
