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 follow-up 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.
