Clinical and Radiographic Outcomes after Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty Using Two Specialized Surgical Tables.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Specialized tables for direct anterior (DA) approach total hip arthroplasty (THA) have required an unscrubbed assistant for manipulation of the operative limb. A novel surgical table attachment designed for the DA approach is fully surgeon controlled and partially automated. The purpose of this study is to compare the clinical outcomes in patients who underwent THA through a DA approach with an assistant-controlled vs the surgeon-controlled (SC) table.

Methods

This is a retrospective study of 343 patients who underwent primary THA between January 2017 and October 2017. Two cohorts were established based on the surgical table used. Surgical and clinical data included the surgical time, length of stay, presence of pain (groin, hip, or thigh pain) at latest follow-up
