Study of functional and radiological outcomes of hip arthroplasty via posterior approach

Author(s): Dr. Pratik Sidhdhapuria, Dr. Shahruhkhan Pathan and Dr. Vijay Chaudhary
Abstract: 
Many surgical approaches to hip have evolved over the period of time surgical approaches differs chiefly in position of patient in supine or lateral and whether the hip is dislocated anteriorly or posteriorly. However most of the surgeon prefer approach where hip is dislocated posteriorly, patient in lateral position.
In this study we try to evaluate the clinical, radiological and functional outcome of hemi-replacement and total hip replacement operated by posterior approach.
No significant difference was found in limb length discrepancy. No peri prosthetic fractures were seen. Dislocation rate was 10 percent with posterior approach. No post-operative lurch was found with posterior approach.
