A Randomized, Prospective Study of Three MIS Surgical Approaches in THA: Comprehensive Gait Analysis
R. Michael Meneghini, MD* Shelly Smits, RN Rafael E. Bahamonde, MD, PhD, FACSMHip
Purported advantages of total hip arthroplasty (THA) performed with minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches are less muscle damage and faster recovery. Currently, there are little data that objectively and scientifically evaluate these claims. Comparative gait analysis was performed on patients who underwent THA using 1 of 3 different MIS approaches.
