The learning curve for the direct anterior total hip arthroplasty: a systematic review
Abstract
BackgroundThe direct anterior approach (DAA) for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a muscle-sparing approach thought to have less post-operative pain and quicker recovery, with similar functional outcomes to other approaches. However, it is technically challenging and transitioning surgeons may experience increased complication rates.
