Abstract:

Background: 10% of people have osteoarthritis, which mostly affects hips (5%), like other joints, are weight-bearing joints. Usually, increasing pain, stiffness, and deteriorating gait need a total hip arthroplasty (THA). There are numerous surgical techniques for the hip that have been discussed. Because the posterior approach involves less extensive tissue dissection, resulting in speedier surgeries and less blood loss, it is generally easier to do.
Methods: The results of the uncemented THR by posterior approach were recorded in a prospective study conducted from September 2020 to March 2023 on 25 individuals with osteoarthritis that is unilateral, ages 25 to 60, at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (Department of Orthopaedic Surgery) and various private hospitals in Dhaka, Bangladesh. 
The purpose of the study was to ascertain the functional outcome of individuals who had posterior total hip arthroplasty. 
Results: A total of 25 patients with unilateral osteoarthritis had a posterior approach total hip arthroplasty without cementation; c10 of the patients were female and 15 (60%) were male. (40%). Patients ranged in age from 25 to 60, with a mean age of 42.5. The right side was primarily impacted. At the follow-up following THA by the PA, the VAS, HHS, and WOMAC ratings all showed significant improvement (all p< 0.05). Before surgery, the patient's VAS score was 9.2, but after a year, it had improved to 1.3, with a significant p value of less than 0.001.
Conclusion: Significant functional results were observed by patients who underwent total hip arthroplasty using the posterior approach.
