Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty using Hueter anterior approach.
A prospect i ve study including 1764 hips has been carried out to evaluate the frequency of dislocation while using the Hueter anterior approach and the correlated factors . The dislocation group was compared with the patients without dislocation . We observed 27 dislocations ( 1.5 % ) . The dislocation rate when using 28 mm head diameter was 0.5 % . Two patients underwent a revision for recurrent dislocations . Correlated factors for dislocation were male sex , high body mass index , etiology of osteonecrosis , low head diameter , high bleeding , and low postoperative ROM . Dislocation risk while using Hueter approach is one of the lowest in the literature . The main disadvantages are the necessity for a specific orthopedic table and a more difficult exposure of the femur
Thus , while DAA hip arthroplasty can be successfully performed , it is not without complications .
