The anterior-based muscle-sparing approach is cost-effective when compared with posterolateral and direct anterior approaches for total hip arthroplasty.

Purpose: Research relating to Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) has found the anterior-based muscle-sparing (ABMS) approach improves both intraoperative and postoperative outcomes when compared to other THA approaches. This study compares the costs and outcomes of the ABMS approach and standard of care (SOC) to determine the relative cost-effectiveness.

Methods: A decision-analytic model was utilized to estimate intraoperative outcomes (i.

Variation in Demographics, Hospital, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty According to Biological Sex.

Background: The effect of biological sex on the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty (THA) remains unclear. Accounting for biological sex in research is crucial for reproducibility and accuracy. Average combined data may mask sex-related variation and obscure clinically relevant differences in outcomes.

The Association of Season of Surgery and Patient Reported Outcomes following Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Understanding the impact of situational variables on surgical recovery can improve outcomes in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Literature examining hospital outcomes by season remains inconclusive, with limited focus on patient experience. The aim of this study is to investigate if there are differences in hospital and patient-reported outcomes measures (PROMS) after THA depending on the season of the index procedure to improve surgeon erative counseling.

Bilateral Total Hip Arthroplasty: Outcomes of Staged Versus Simultaneous Procedures Performed Using an Anterior-Based Muscle-Sparing Approach.

Background: The incidence of total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the United States continues to increase due to its ability to markedly improve patients' quality of life. This study investigated and compared the perioperative and postoperative outcomes of simultaneous (SI-THA) and staged (ST-THA) bilateral THA procedures using an anterior-based muscle-sparing (ABMS) approach.

Methods: This retrospective case control study evaluated perioperative and postoperative outcomes from primary bilateral SI-THA or ST-THA (within 365 days) performed with the ABMS approach by 3 surgeons at a single institution between January 2013 and August 2020.

Rural-Urban Differences in Hospital and Patient-Reported Outcomes Following Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Rural patients have unique health-care factors influencing outcomes of arthroplasty, hypothetically putting these patients at increased risk for complications following total joint arthroplasty. The aim of this study is to better understand differences in patient outcomes and satisfaction between rural and urban patients receiving care in an urban setting and to provide more equitable care.

Methods: A retrospective chart review was performed on patients undergoing primary total hip arthroplasty at a single large academic center between January 2013 and August 2020.
