The Role of Surgical Approach on Residual Limping After Total Hip Arthroplasty
Abductor Insufficiency After Total Hip Arthroplasty; Risk Factors and Diagnosis
About This Trial
Residual limping after total hip arthroplasty is empirically associated with the use of lateral approach but has been reported in litterature even with the use of posterior approach. The purpose of this clinical trial is to compare the risk of residual limping one year after total hip arthropasty between lateral and posterior approach.
Who May Be Eligible (Plain English)
Who May Qualify:
- Primary unilateral osteoarthritis of the hip scheduled for total hip arthroplasty.
- Ability to understand and write swedish.
Who Should NOT Join This Trial:
- Impaired funktion of the contralateral hip or knees causing limping.
- Neuromuscular diseases
- Postoperative leg length discrepancy excceding 1 cm
- Postoperative discrepancy in femoral offset exceeding 25% of the femoral offset of the contralateral hip.
Always talk to your doctor about whether this trial is right for you.
