In recent years, an increasing number of patients have received hip arthroplasty through a direct anterior approach (DAA). The steep learning curve of DAA and the high complication rate make the approach more challenging to the beginning surgeons. In this study, we aimed to describe our modified DAA method and to analyze its related clinical outcomes, and both perioperative and postoperative complications. Retrospectively we reviewed twenty-four patients with femoral neck fracture between Jan. 2019 and Jul. 2019, all treated with bipolar hemiarthroplasty through our modified DAA method. Neither intraoperative iatrogenic fracture nor postoperative dislocation was found. Only one patient (4%) had lateral femoral cutaneous nerve symptoms, which resolved spontaneously two weeks later. Although the learning curve of DAA is rather steep, it could be overcome in short time interval by accumulating more cases based on the predecessors’experience. |
