Do Patients With Higher Preoperative Functional Outcome Scores Preferentially Seek Direct Anterior Approach Total Hip Arthroplasty?

ABSTRACT:

Background

There is focus on the direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty because of perceived postoperative functional improvement. We compared baseline, short-term, and long-term outcomes between the DAA and the posterior approach focusing on baseline function.

Material and methods

Multivariate linear and logistic regression models were used to analyze prospective data on 1457 total hip arthroplasties comparing baseline characteristics, operative time, 90-day reoperation, length of stay (LOS), extended LOS (>3 days), and facility discharge. The Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System-Global Health (PROMIS-10) was used to determine physical component score (PCS) and mental component score (MCS), with clinically significant improvement define
