    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Surgical Approaches

    Background:

    • The posterior approach is a common surgical technique for hip procedures.
    • Evaluating its efficacy and complications is crucial for optimizing patient outcomes.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the efficacy and complications of the posterior approach in hip surgery.
    • To compare outcomes between endoprosthetic and total joint replacement.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 168 consecutive hip procedures performed by the author.
    • Evaluation of surgical time, blood loss, morbidity, mortality, and complications.
    • Subgroup analysis of endoprosthetic (98) and total joint replacement (70) patients.

    Main Results:

    • The posterior approach provided excellent exposure with minimal tissue disruption and average operative time under one hour and blood loss under 500 cc.

  • Postoperative dislocations (4) occurred in patients with pre-existing flexion contractures.
  • One superficial infection and two hematomas (in complex cases) were noted, with no increased morbidity regarding pain, limp, or motion loss.

    • Conclusions:

    • The posterior approach offers efficient and safe hip surgery with minimal complications.
    • Its benefits include excellent exposure, reduced operative time, and minimal blood loss.
    • Orthopedic surgeons should consider the posterior approach for hip problem treatment.
