| Sumario: | Abstract It is challenging to treat developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) classified Crowe III-IV using direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA), and very little is known on its outcome. This study aimed to investigate the clinical result in this defined disorder with DAA versus posterolateral approach. Twenty-three consecutive hips with Crowe III-IV DDH who underwent DAA were retrospectively evaluated from 2016 through 2018. Outcomes were primarily assessed by HHS, WOMAC, and SF-12 physical scales. The second evaluations included leg length discrepancy, hip muscle strength, radiographic review, complications, and limp recovery. Results were compared to a control cohort of 50 hips underwent posterolateral THA concurrently within the observational period. At last follow-up (DAA 28.5 months; PLA 39.0 months), the mean increase of the HHS for DAA was 48.2 and 30.3 for PLA (p = 0.003). The improvement in WOMAC score in DAA cohort was 15.89 higher that of the PLA cohort after adjusting preoperative difference [R2 = 0.532, P = 0.000, 95% CI (10.037, 21.735)]. DAA had more rapid recovery of hip abductor strength at 1-month (p = 0.03) and hip flexor strength at 3 months (p = 0.007) compared to PLA. No significant differences were found in the radiographic analysis with the exception of increased acetabular anteversion in the DAA cohort (p = 0.036). Satisfactory improvement in limp, indicated by the percentage of limp graded as none and mild to the total, was much higher in DAA cohort (97.6%), compared to that of PLA cohort (90.0%, p = 0.032). DAA for high-dislocated dysplasia demonstrate a significant improvement in clinical result comparable to posterolateral approach. Improved clinical outcome in terms of increased HHS and WOMAC scores, rapid recovery of hip abductor and flexor strength, and enhanced limp recovery without an increased risk in complications, could be acquired when the surgeons were specialized in this approach. |
