A G Gristina, G D Rovere, J F Nicastro

    Southern Medical Journal
    |January 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    The posterolateral approach for total hip replacement arthroplasty in 229 patients yielded excellent results in 95%. This surgical technique offers advantages like reduced operative time and blood loss, with no link between capsulectomy and ectopic bone formation.

    Area of Science:

    • Orthopedic Surgery
    • Arthroplasty Research

    Background:

    • The posterolateral approach is a surgical technique for total hip replacement.
    • Evaluating its efficacy and patient outcomes is crucial for orthopedic advancements.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To report the experience and outcomes of the posterolateral approach in total hip replacement arthroplasty.
    • To assess the advantages and potential complications of this surgical method.

    Main Methods:

    • A retrospective review of 229 patients who underwent total hip replacement arthroplasty using the posterolateral approach.
    • Outcomes were classified based on pain absence and range of motion.
    • Ectopic bone formation was assessed in relation to capsulectomy.

    Main Results:

    Related Experiment Videos

    • 95% of patients achieved good to excellent results.
    • Only 2% had fair results, and 3% had poor results.
    • No significant correlation was found between capsulectomy and postoperative ectopic bone formation.

    Conclusions:

    • The posterolateral approach provides excellent exposure, reduced operative time, and minimal blood loss.
    • This technique avoids complications associated with greater trochanter manipulation.
    • The procedure demonstrates a high success rate in improving patient function and reducing pain.
