Patients undergoing direct anterior approach total hip arthroplasty achieved superior functional recovery and shorter hospital stays compared to posterior approach controls.
Average length of stay reached 2.9 days with the direct anterior approach compared to 5.4 days for the posterior approach, alongside zero detected dislocations.
Retrospective review of prospectively collected registry data utilizing propensity score matching supports direct anterior approach adoption for total hip arthroplasty.
