What is Time Course and Extent of Functional Recovery During the First Postoperative Year After Minimally Invasive Total Hip Arthroplasty with Two Different Surgical Approaches—a Randomized Controlled Trial about?

While others have reported short-term comparisons between various minimally invasive surgical (MIS) approaches to total hip arthroplasty (THA) and their conventional analogues, longer-term data is lacking, as is information indicating whether MIS approaches to THA provide a biomechanically complete recovery. Furthermore, different MIS approaches have not been compared. Our approaches of interest were a one-incision modified Watson-Jones, and a two-incision approach. ## Hypotheses: (1) there are significant differences in gait recovery patterns between the two surgical groups and (2) tha subjects have significant differences in function one year after surgery compared to control subjects. to test these hypotheses, tha candidates (n=26) were randomized to receive one of these mis approaches and evaluated preoperatively, and postoperatively at 3 weeks, and at 3, 6 and 12 months. evaluations included three-dimensional gait analysis and 24-hour step-counts. the same data were obtained from 25 control subjects. recovery time-course was assessed using repeated measures anova. t-tests were used to compare controls with the pooled group of tha subjects. we found no differences between the t
