ABSTRACT

Introduction: The coxarthrosis has incidence of 88 cases per 100,000 people/year and symptomatic prevalence of 16% men and 6% women aged 65-74 years and increases with age. It is a growing public health disease. Total hip arthroplasty (THA) has become the most successful procedure to increase the quality of life of patients with coxarthrosis. Our objective was to determine the claudication, quality of life and functional results of THA through minimal invasive approach in patients with primary coxarthrosis. Material and methods: Prospective longitudinal study in patients with unilateral primary coxarthrosis postop of THA with minimally invasive approach from March 2015-February 2016, each patient was analyzed with quality of Life instrument (WOMAC), Functional test for coxarthrosis (HHS) and functional test in patients with hip surgery (OHS) with follow-up of one year. Results: We included 21 patients, 17 female and 4 males corresponding to 80.95% and 19.05% respectively, average age of 59.95 years (ED = 9.64), with excellent functional results to one year according to HHS and OHS, quality of life high in 100% of cases according to WOMAC, with claudication rate of 4.76%. Discussion: The minimal invasive approach is a reproducible surgical technique, with excellent functional results, low claudication rate and high quality of life in postoperative patients of primary ATC at only one year of follow-up.
