Conditions
Brief summary
The primary purpose of the study is to show whether there is any difference in the patient outcomes, radiographic outcomes and gait of patients treated with total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. We will compare the anterior, posterior and superior approaches.
Interventions
Total hip arthroplasty approaches will be compared.
Arm 1 - Anterior approach
Arm 2 - Superior approach
Arm 3 - Posterior approach
Patients will not be randomised. 10 consecutive posterior approaches will be performed by each surgeon and 10 consecutive superior OR anterior approaches will be performed depending on the surgeons experience.
The approximate surgical time is similar for all three approaches 60-120 mins.
Each surgeon will have completed appropriate training in the anterior or sup
Total hip arthroplasty approaches will be compared. Arm 1 - Anterior approach Arm 2 - Superior approach Arm 3 - Posterior approach Patients will not be randomised. 10 consecutive posterior approaches will be performed by each surgeon and 10 consecutive superior OR anterior approaches will be performed depending on the surgeons experience. The approximate surgical time is similar for all three approaches 60-120 mins. Each surgeon will have completed appropriate training in the anterior or superior approach provided by Medacta and Stryker respectively. Each approach will be provided by qualified Orthopaedic Surgeons familiar with the approaches based at Counties Manukau District Health Board and Waitemata District Health Board. The patient records will be used to monitor the fidelity of the intervention.
