Abstract Background: Direct anterior approach (DAA)for total hip arthroplasty (THA)could be performed either in the lateral decubitus position or supine position. However, there is an obvious absence of literature regarding the differences, which position may be more conducive to recovery, technically more demanding, associated with component malposition or more complications. Methods: From Jan.1st, 2020 to oct.1st, 2020, 45 patients were recruited for primary unilateral THA using the DAA. In total, 27 patients (60%) underwent THAs using the DAA in the supine position, and 18 patients (40%) in the lateral decubitus position. All surgeries were performed by a high-volume surgeon. Technical information, clinical and radiographic outcomes, SF-12 and patient-reported outcomes such as WOMAC were evaluated. All the date were tested with Generalized Linear Mixed Models Analysis, GLM Repeated Measurement Analysis, Independent samples t-test or Pearson’s chi-square test.Results: There were no differences in Population characteristics before surgery. The operation time, length of stay and blood loss in the LP group and the SP group were no differences. The prosthesis of the two groups were in a good position. pre-operative and the first and third day after the surgery of CK-MB and Hb,pre-operative and the last follow-up of HSS,WOMAC,UCLA,VAS,SF-12,and pre-operation and post-operation of Offset,FA and LLD, all the above indicators show no significant difference. And the incidence of complications in the lateral position was lower than that in the supine position.Conclusion: Both THA via DAA in the lateral decubitus position and in the supine position produced excellent clinical outcomes. From the perspective of the occurrence of complications, we are more inclined to use the lateral position.

Abstract Background Intraoperative pelvic tilt changes that occurs during total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the supine position affects cup placement and sometimes causes malalignment. The relationship between body mass index (BMI) and pelvic movement has been reported for some procedures, but not the direct anterior approach (DAA). The purpose of this study was to investigate intraoperative pelvic tilt changes that occurs during DAA. Methods In this single-center, retrospective study, we reviewed 200 hips that underwent primary THA via DAA in the supine position using an accelerometer-based navigation system. Intraoperative changes in pelvic tilt and axial rotation from the start of surgery to cup placement were assessed using the navigation system. Preoperative clinical factors that increased pelvic tilt and axial rotation toward the surgical side by > 10° were analyzed via univariate and multiple logistic regression analyses. Results The mean pelvic tilt value increased by 7.6° ± 3.8° (95% confidence interval [CI], 7.1–8.2; range, − 5.0–19.0) intraoperatively, and the axial rotation increased by 3.2° ± 2.7° (95% CI, 2.7–3.7; range, − 13.0–12.0). Univariate analysis revealed that the group with increased pelvic tilt showed significantly greater range of abduction and internal rotation, and significantly lower BMI than the group with no increased tilt. Pre-incisional pelvic tilt was significantly greater in the group with increased axial rotation than in the group with no increased rotation. On logistic regression analysis, BMI (odds ratio [OR], 0.889; 95% CI, 0.809–0.977; p = 0.014) and the range of internal rotation (OR, 1.310; 95% CI, 1.002–1.061; p = 0.038) were predictors of large increases in pelvic tilt. No predictors of large increases in axial rotation were identified. Conclusion Significant forward pelvic tilt was observed in patients with a low BMI values and high ranges of internal rotation via THA using the DAA. Findings indicated that surgeons should pay attention to intraoperative pelvic movements, which may help identify patients with significant pelvic tilt changes.
