Revision Hip Arthroplasty Through a Gluteal-Sparing Extended Posterior Approach May be Able to Achieve Similar Functional Outcomes to Primary Hip Arthroplasty.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been reported to have worse outcomes when compared to primary procedures, which may, in part, be due to the increased exposure required for the procedure. We aimed to investigate the postoperative functional outcomes of 2 groups of primary and revision THA, when revision procedures were performed using a gluteal-sparing extended posterior approach.

Methods

Two groups of 51 primary and 21 revision THAs were prospectively recruited from a single center between 2016 and 2019. Both groups were assessed preoperatively using quantitative gait analysis and patient-reported outcomes, and at 3 and 12 months postoperatively. Hip and knee kinematics were computed from motion capture data acquired at the gait analysis. Kinematic and p
