ABSTRACT
Introduction: the type of surgical
approach in total hip arthroplasty can have a significant
impact on patients’ quality of life and reintegration into
their daily lives.
Material and methods: an analytical,
longitudinal, observational, and prospective study
was conducted with patients over 18 years of age, of
both sexes, and metabolically stable, undergoing total
hip arthroplasty scheduled for an anterior or lateral
approach. Age, sex, weight, height, BMI, substance
abuse, laterality of the injury, duration of injury, return to
daily activities with the Technology-Activities of Daily
Living Questionnaire (T-ADLQ), and functional capacity
with the Harris Hip Score (HHS) were analyzed. Results
were compared according to the approach.
Results: 179
patients, 105 with DLA and 63 with DAA; 87 women
and 92 men, age was 69.0 years [IQR 66.0-77.0], the left
hip was the most affected. In the baseline T-ADLQ, they
had 43.7 ± 6.5 points (DAA) and 40.9 ± 6.4 (ALD) (p =
0.007). At follow-up they had 39.0 ± 6.3 points and 36.6
± 6.5, respectively (p = 0.020). In the domains, there were
significant differences in self-care, home and travel, both
at baseline and follow-up. In the baseline HHS, the most
frequent result was poor in both (p = 0.231), at followup
in both the result was good (p = 0.549).
Conclusion:
both approaches were effective for functional capacity
and return to activities in patients undergoing total hip
arthroplasty.
