Stratified Comparison of Short-Term Perioperative Outcomes in Direct Anterior Versus Posterolateral Primary Total Hip Arthroplasty: A Retrospective Review.

ABSTRACT: Background: It is unclear what influence patient sex and body mass index (BMI) have on perioperative outcomes following total hip arthroplasty (THA), especially regarding anterior versus posterolateral approaches. Purpose/Study Questions: We sought to compare perioperative outcomes of primary THA via direct anterior (DAA) versus posterolateral (PLA) approaches, stratified by patient sex and BMI. Methods: A retrospective review at a single institution identified 8258 patients 18 to 80 years old who underwent primary THA via DAA or PLA for osteoarthritis between February 2019 and April 2022. Patients were stratified by sex and BMI (<30 or 30-40). We compared operative times, lengths of stay (LOS), opioid consumption and prescribing patterns, and achievement of Hip Injury
