Introduction: The approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) using a mini-incision has been used progressively to decrease morbidity, achieve prompt patient recovery without an increased risk and shorten the hospital stay. However, the advantages and probable complications of these approaches are not clear. The objective of this paper is to compare the preliminary perioperative results of two groups of patients undergoing THA, one using the standard approach and the second one with a mini-incision.
Material And Methods: 170 patients underwent surgery; they were divided into two groups. In group I (GI) patients an anterolateral mini-incision was performed, and in group II (GII) patients a standard Watson-Jones incision was used. Mean incision length was 8 cm in GI and 20 cm in GII.
Results: No statistically significant differences were found between both groups in the clinical and radiographic results and in the complications; however, a significant difference was found in the need for transfusions, wound size and hospital stay.
Conclusions: This study showed that primary THA with a mini-incision was a safe procedure that reduced the operative time without increasing the complications.

Background: Osteonecrosis of the femoral head (ONFH) is a prevalent orthopedic issue, leading to the collapse and fragmentation of the femoral head in its advanced stages, which can severely impair patients' quality of life. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a clinical intervention frequently used to alleviate ONFH symptoms and reinstate hip functionality. The conventional surgical technique is invasive and comes with an extended recuperation period, posing significant challenges for patients.

Background and objective Open carpal tunnel release (OCTR) is the gold standard technique for treating carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS). While mini-incision carpal tunnel release (MCTR) has been introduced as an alternative approach, there have been some concerns over its effectiveness and risks. In light of this, the aim of the study was to compare the long-standing clinical outcomes after MCTR with those following OCTR.

Currently, various minimally invasive surgical techniques are applied for total hip arthroplasty (THA). There are few studies comparing the early postoperative clinical outcomes of minimally invasive THA between anterolateral and posterolateral approaches. In this retrospective study, 62 patients underwent minimally invasive THA via either the anterolateral approach with an intermuscular exposure using the modified Watson-Jones approach (MIS-AL, 34 hips) or mini-incision THA with a posterolateral approach (MIS-PL, 28 hips).

Background: Supercapsular percutaneously-assisted total hip (SuperPath) arthroplasty has been proposed to be minimally invasive and tissue sparing, with possible superior postoperative outcomes compared with conventional approaches for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, previous studies have underlined the shortcomings of conventional THA approaches, including higher dislocation, more blood loss, longer incisions, more tissue damage, and delayed postoperative rehabilitation. In the present study, we compared the short-term outcomes of unilateral THA with those of SuperPath and the mini-incision posterolateral approach (PLA) for hip osteoarthritis (OA).

Background: Most of the studies assessing the corrective posterior total hip arthroplasty (THA) mainly focused on the mini-incision approach. Studies exploring the short external rotator sparing approach are rare. Therefore, this study aimed to compare the effectiveness of standard posterior approach and short external rotator sparing approach.
