A Prospective Randomized Clinical Trial Shows That 2-Incision Total Hips Do Not Recover Quicker Than Miniposterior Total Hips

Proponents of 2-incision total hip arthroplasty (THA) have claimed that the recovery after that procedure is dramatically quicker than that after other methods of performing THA. To date however, there are no data that directly compare 2-incision THA to another method of THA in similar groups of patients using the same advanced anesthetic and rehabilitation protocol.
