Implication

Retrospective analysis investigates learning curve impact on surgical outcomes in total hip arthroplasty via direct anterior approach.

Key Points

This research evaluates how surgical experience affects the learning curve and clinical outcomes in total hip arthroplasty using the direct anterior approach.
Retrospective analysis of 525 total hip arthroplasties performed by one senior and six junior surgeons between May 2013 and December 2017.
Clinical outcomes were compared between senior and junior surgeons over an average follow-up of 36.2 months.
Learning curve metrics were assessed, focusing on complications and operating times.
Senior surgeons had significantly lower complication rates compared to junior surgeons, particularly in operating time and infection rate.
Trainees required around 10 direct anterior approach procedures to match the performance of senior surgeons.
Operating time for seniors became stable after completing 70 cases, while complications related to intraoperative fractures increased with experience in both groups.
