Patient reported outcomes during the first month following anterior and posterior total hip arthroplasty and hip resurfacing.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Surgical treatment for osteoarthritis of the hip includes hip resurfacing (HR) and total hip arthroplasty (THA) via various surgical approaches. The discussion about the benefits and preferability of each procedure is highly controversial. We aimed to quantify the patients' utilization of opioids within the first 30 days following surgery and hypothesized that there are no differences in pain, medication, ability to walk, and function between direct anterior approach THA (DAA-THA), posterior approach THA (PA-THA), and HR.

Methods

This retrospective study evaluated 207 hips in 199 patients (DAA: 126 hips, PA: 59, HR: 21), who underwent surgery for primary osteoarthritis between 2020 and 2022. Patients used an app (SeamlessMD, Toronto, Canada) to report pain, utiliz
