Ntroduction: The last two decades have been leading to the development of several types of surgical techniques and procedures to manage the LHB lesions. This paper analyses and compares the difference in muscle strength pre- and post-operatively in two most commonly used surgical procedures - LHB tenotomy and tenodesis.
Method: The study includes 68 patients who underwent surgery between 2016 and 2020.
Mini-invasive surgical (MIS) approaches to total hip replacement (THR) are becoming more popular and increasingly adapted into practice. THR via the direct anterior approach (MIS DAA) has become a rather controversial topic in hip arthroplasty literature in the last decades. Our retrospective observational study focuses on the prevalence of one approach-specific complication-lateral femoral cutaneous nerve (LFCN) iatrogenic lesion-and tries to clarify the possible pathogenesis of this injury.

Despite the implants being placed according to the safe zone philosophy of Lewinnek, occurrence of THR dislocation is not an uncommon complication. Large diagnostic and computational model studies have shown variability in patients' mobility based on the individual anatomic and functional relationship of the hip-pelvis-spine complex.
