The purpose of this study was to compare the operative outcome between mini and st and ard incisions in total hip arthroplasty ( THA ) .
High- quality studies are required to compare the outcomes of these two procedures .ResuméLe but de cette étude est de comparer le devenir opératoire des patients ayant bénéficié d'une prothèse totale de hanche par voie  mini-invasive ou par incision st and ard .
Comparison of primary total hip arthroplasties performed with a minimally invasive technique or a standard technique: a prospective and randomized study.
The purpose of this prospect i ve r and omized study was to compare the early results of primary total hip arthroplasties performed with a minimally invasive technique or a st and ard technique . A consecutive series of 70 patients who underwent primary bilateral simultaneous total hip arthroplasties was studied . All procedures were performed through a posterolateral approach . Operative times and duration of hemovac drains were significantly shorter in the group with a minimally invasive technique ( P < .05 ) . However , there was a risk of infection when using this technique . There were no any late transfusions in any of our patients postdischarge . This minimally invasive technique did not offer any advantages because the results were not different , and in our h and s , it increased our infection rate
