Abstract
Prospective, blinded and randomized study with 54 patients comparing posterior and lateral approaches for THA, two groups were created with similar age, gender, weight, BMI, diagnosis, Harris Hip Score, type of prosthesis and postoperatively management. Results: no differences were found in postoperatively global function, blood loss, blood transfusions, postoperatively stay, radiographic results or complications. We have found differences between both groups in postoperatively pain with less pain-killers consumed in the lateral approach, and bigger acetabular cups in posterior approach. Conclusions: both approaches are excellent for THA but bigger cups was implanted with posterior approach with less risk and patients operated by lateral approach consumed less pain-killers.
