The result of transmuscular versus transosseous repair of the posterior capsule on early dislocations in primary hip arthroplasty

摘要

Purpose: Dislocation is a concerning complication of the posterolateral approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA). Use of a larger size femoral head and a correct repair of the posterior structures can reduce the risk on dislocation of the hip prosthesis. In this study we investigated if there was a difference in dislocation rate between transmuscular and transosseous repair of the posterior soft tissues with use of 36 mm heads.
