Summary

This study aims to analyze the difference in rates of wound complications using two different closure techniques in Direct anterior approach for primary total hip replacement.

Detailed description

The use of the direct anterior approach (DAA) for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been increasingly popular but there has been a reported increased risk of wound complications compared with a posterior approach. Wound complications can lead to increased length of stay, reoperation procedures (i.e., irrigation and debridement), patient dissatisfaction, extra visits, readmissions, increased risk of periprosthetic joint infection and overall increased costs.

Conditions

• Total Hip Replacement
• Wound Complication
