Direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty with patients in the lateral decubitus versus supine positions: A prospective, double-blinded, randomized clinical trial

Abstract: Purpose The direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be performed with patients in either in the lateral decubitus or supine position. Prompted by the lack of studies addressing differences between the two positions, this investigation aimed to examine clinical and radiographic outcomes and compare the lateral decubitus versus the supine position for THA using the DAA. Methods Between January 1 and October 1, 2020, 90 patients who underwent primary unilateral THA using the DAA were r… Show more

“…In recent years, DAA has become increasingly popular because it causes less muscle damage, has a faster recovery, and is less prone to hip dislocation [35,36]. DAA includes both L-DAA and S-DAA, and few studies have used DAA to directly compare total hip arthroplasty in these two different positions.…”

“…Therefore, when the patient is in the supine position, the pelvic orientation changes less during the operation. The use of fluoroscopy helps to simulate the pelvic tilt before the operation, and provides feedback on the pelvic orientation and the position of the cup, which improves the accuracy of the surgeon in placing the acetabular component in the safe zone [36]. However, Maeda et al also pointed out that there was no significant difference in cup angle accuracy between DAA in the lateral decubitus position and DAA in the supine group after the use of a mechanical guide [40].…”
