Study start date: January 1, 2010

Actual date on which the first participant was enrolled.

The anterior approach may provide better early post-operative outcomes because there are fewer muscles at the front of the hip so the surgeon works between them rather than cutting through muscle fibers. However, the anterior approach is more difficult to access so usually requires a specialized table. The posterior approach is easier to access, but the incision cuts through muscle fiber. This may lengthen recovery time. However, a specialized table, which can be quite expensive, is often not required.

Treatment Groups
Study Objectives

2 intervention groups are designated in this study

This study does not include a placebo group 

Treatment Groups

Group I

Active Comparator
Total hip arthroplasty performed through an anterior surgical approach. Compare results of total hip arthroplasty performed through either an Anterior or Posterior Surgical Approach

Group II

Active Comparator
The additional arm is the posterior approach total hip, which the Anterior Approach is being compared too. Compare results of total hip arthroplasty performed through either an Anterior or Posterior Surgical Approach.
