Posterior: Posterior: Woolson et alWoolson et al Methods:

– consecutive THA– 3 surgeons– Posterior approach

Results: – Increased wound complication– Acetabular malposition – Poor fit and fill in MIS group

Conclusion: Their study did not support the benefit of MIS posterior approach.

Direct Anterior: Direct Anterior: Berend Berend et alet al Methods

–372 direct lateral versus 258 DAA–Regular surgical table–HHS and activity score

Results–DA had better HHS (0.0000) and improved activity scores (0.03) at 6 weeks.

–Ave hospital stay 1.8 versus 2.0 days.–DA went home more often (0.04)

Conclusion:–“DA has better HHS, LE activity score, with no increase in complications.”

1) Implant position: Harvard Study

At Massachusetts General Hospital, only 36.9% of cups were in the desired zone of placement.

Can we improve implant position??

The patient of today

2) Bone Conservation?

Living longerMore activeHaving surgery earlierMore obese

Can we be more bone preserving??

Anterior Approach for Anterior Approach for THR:THR:Technique of Robert Technique of Robert JudetJudetHueter Approach (short Smith-

or leg holding deviceRecently popularized by Dr. Matta

Anterior Approach (one Anterior Approach (one incision)incision)

Incision (6-10 cm)- Smith-Petersen approach

Interval- Tensor fascia lata and

sartorius/rectus femoris

Releases - None really

Questions: Does computer navigation in conjunction with the direct anterior approach....

improve cup position ?improve leg length determination ?add surgical time ?

2) Can We Be Bone 2) Can We Be Bone Conserving?Conserving?

What do we mean with Bone Conserving?

Less bone resectionMore anatomic reconstruction of the hip joint

More Physiologic loading of the proximal femur

Physiologic Loading of Proximal Femur

Long stems transfer less load to the bone, resulting in stress shielding

A neck preserving stem transfers more load to the proximal femur due to its reduced overall stem length and proximal geometry.

It minimize periprosthetic bone loss by optimizing prox. femoral loading and resecting less bone

There was no significant difference (p < 0.05) between strain energy density of implanted MiniHip vs. intact femur , i.e. MiniHip loads physiologically

Physiologic Loading of Proximal Femur
