Abstract:
* While no single approach for total hip arthroplasty (THA) has been proven to be superior to others in terms of patient outcomes, the direct anterior approach (DAA) is becoming increasingly popular. * All of the described techniques for THA carry a small risk of nerve injury. * Identifying risk factors for nerve injury and mitigating these risks where feasible are imperative in order to reduce the incidence of this complication with any approach for THA.
