Standard table direct anterior approach within an early discharge protocol for cementless total hip arthroplasty: experience from a Japanese hospital.

Aims: Clinical and economic outcomes associated with an early discharge protocol for cementless total hip arthroplasty (THA) via a direct anterior approach (DAA) on a standard table without a dedicated traction table) were assessed. These outcomes were compared against a benchmark of THA care approximated from a national database.

Materials And Methods: This retrospective, observational, comparative cohort study evaluated 250 patients receiving THA with a standard table DAA approach under an early discharge protocol at a medical center in Japan between 2016 and 2017 (intervention).

A new anterior total hip arthroplasty reduction technique for patients who require leg lengthening.

Background: When performing anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) for patients who require leg lengthening, surgeons often encounter difficulties during reduction due to soft tissue tightness. The purpose of this study was to introduce a new THA reduction technique for these patients.

Methods: Between October 2018 and September 2019, 545 THAs were performed.

Patient-Reported Outcomes and Perioperative Complications of Total Hip Arthroplasty Following Joint Preservation Surgery for Hip Dysplasia.

Background: There is growing recognition of the importance of patient-reported outcome measures and assessment of patient satisfaction in the evaluation of outcomes following surgical interventions. This study aimed to evaluate patient-reported outcomes and complication rates after total hip arthroplasty following joint preservation surgery for hip dysplasia.

Methods: Patient-reported outcomes and complication rates of 85 hips with previous joint preservation surgery (salvage group) were compared with those of 1279 hips without joint preservation surgery (primary arthroplasty group).

Radiographic factors to predict operation time of direct anterior total hip arthroplasty for dysplastic hips.

Background: This study aimed to identify radiographic factors that could predict surgical difficulty in direct anterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) for dysplastic hips.

Patients And Methods: The clinical records of 160 patients (204 hips) who underwent primary THA for the treatment of developmental dysplasia of the hip were retrospectively investigated. All THAs were performed through a direct anterior approach by a single surgeon.
