Early complications of primary total hip arthroplasty in the supine position with a modified Watson-Jones anterolateral approach

摘要

BackgroundFor total hip arthroplasty (THA), minimally invasive surgery (MIS) has been developed to reduce incision length, muscle damage, and a shorter hospital stay. However, reduced exposure of anatomical landmarks may result in technical errors and inferior implant survivorships. The aim of this study was to report the short-term results and clinical complications of primary MIS THA in the supine position.
