Key Points

To compare the effectiveness and safety of direct superior approach versus posterior approach in total hip arthroplasty.
Conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis of existing studies on surgical approaches for hip arthroplasty.
Included primary total hip arthroplasty cases with various approaches.
Analyzed outcomes related to blood loss, hospital stay, and recovery times.
Direct superior approach shows less blood loss compared to posterior approach.
Patients experience shorter hospital stays with direct superior approach.
Early recovery is faster with direct superior approach without affecting mid-term outcomes.

Systematic review reveals direct superior approach reduces blood loss and hospital stay in total hip arthroplasty, suggesting efficiency.
