"Heterotopic ossification after total hip arthroplasty through direct anterior approach without a dedicated orthopaedic table or direct lateral approach: a quasi-randomized single-center study".

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Heterotopic ossifications (HO) are common after total hip arthroplasty (THA). The invasiveness of surgical approaches plays a relevant role in HO development. The aims of this study were to assess the development of HO 6 months after THA through direct lateral approach (DLA) or direct anterior approach (DAA) without a dedicated orthopaedic table and to assess the clinical impact of HO.

Methods

This is a single-center IRB-approved, quasi-randomized prospective cohort, observational imaging study. Fifty patients underwent primary THA through DLA and 50 through DAA. Age, sex, BMI and side of the affected hip were collected. At the 6 post-operative month the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and the presence of HO (scored through the Brooker classification system) were assesse
