Is the Incision Length Really Important in Minimally Invasive Total Hip Replacement Surgery?
Journal Title: Journal of Ankara University Faculty of Medicine - Year 2020, Vol 73, Issue 2
Abstract
Objectives: The aim of this study was to show the superiority of the minimally invasive techniques over standard techniques and any intraoperative change in incision length. Materials and Methods: There were 31 patients (8 males, 23 females) operated with the minimally invasive technique, who were defined as group 1 and 42 patients (11 males, 31 females) operated with a standard technique, who were defined as group 2. The hip function was evaluated with Harris Hip Score (HHS), the pain was evaluated with Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) and general physical and mental status with Short Form (SF) - 36. Results: The mean follow-up period was 21.8 months (15-31 months) in group 1 and 58.5 months (42-75 months) in group 2. The duration of the surgery and the duration of hospitalization were longer in group 2 (p<0.05). Intraoperative blood loss was higher in group 2 (p<0.05). At the postoperative 3rd month, the SF - 36, VAS and HHS scores in group 1 were significantly better (p<0.05). Conclusion: Even under favorable conditions, the application of a minimally invasive technique may not give any better cosmetic results for scar tissue than standard techniques.
