Dislocation after total hip arthroplasty using Hueter anterior approach.
A prospective study including 1764 hips has been carried out to evaluate the frequency of dislocation while using the Hueter anterior approach and the correlated factors. The dislocation group was compared with the patients without dislocation. We observed 27 dislocations (1.5%). The dislocation rate when using 28 mm head diameter was 0.5%. Two patients underwent a revision for recurrent dislocations. Correlated factors for dislocation were male sex, high body mass index, etiology of osteonecrosis, low head diameter, high bleeding, and low postoperative ROM. Dislocation risk while using Hueter approach is one of the lowest in the literature. The main disadvantages are the necessity for a specific orthopedic table and a more difficult exposure of the femur.
