The Role of Surgical Approach on Residual Limping After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Condition(s) studied
Investigational drug(s) / intervention(s)
Lateral approach: Total hip arthroplasty performed through a lateral surgical approach (Gammer)
Posterior approach: Total hip arthroplasty performed through a posterior surgical approach (Moore)
Study summary
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is empirically associated with the use of lateral approach but has been reported in litterature even with the use of posterior approach. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the risk of residual limping one year after total hip arthropasty between lateral and posterior approach.
Eligibility
Primary outcome measure(s)
- Trendelenburg sign as binary variable (positive/negative) — At 12 months after intervention
Trendelenburg sign negative if the pelvis remains horisontal while standing only on the operated leg with both arms in anatomical postion. If the pelvismcannot be kept horisontal and tilts towards the kontralateral hip the Trendelenburgs sign is regarded as positive.
