Abstract
BACKGROUND Periprosthetic joint infection is a serious complication and devastating mode of failure of total hip arthroplasty. Various surgical approaches exist for total hip arthroplasty, including the increasingly popularised direct anterior approach. There is no clear consensus on which approach is least associated with periprosthetic joint infection. The objective of this meta-analysis was to compare the rate of periprosthetic joint infection between surgical approaches to primary total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis. METHODS A search of 3 electronic databases (PubMed/MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library) was conducted for relevant studies up to June 2020 with a defined list of inclusion and exclusion criteria. Randomised controlled trials and longitudinal studies reporting periprosthetic joint infection rates after primary total hip arthroplasty for osteoarthritis were included based on surgical approach. Data extraction was completed, and a meta-analysis was then performed using OpenMeta[Analyst] software. RESULTS A total of 24,407 hips were included for meta-analysis with an overall PJI incidence of 0.57%. The incidence rate for periprosthetic joint infection was 0.77% in the direct anterior approach group and 0.44% in the non-anterior approach group. The use of an anterior approach for a total hip arthroplasty was associated with an increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection (odds ratio = 1.404; 95% confidence interval, 0.711-2.771; p = 0.03). CONCLUSIONS The direct anterior approach to total hip arthroplasty may be associated with a significantly increased risk for periprosthetic joint infection compared to non-anterior approaches, even though the overall rate was still small. This should be considered by orthopedic surgeons when choosing the surgical approach.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Direct anterior approach (DAA) is an accurate technique for total hip arthroplasty (THA) through the muscle gap. Physicians who apply DAA believe that it accelerates patient recovery and results in lower rates of postoperative dislocation. However, the traditional surgical approach adherents believe that it is shorter and has fewer complications than DAA. METHODS We use the method of META analysis to organize and analyze the data of the randomized controlled studies (RCT) obtained after our screening. To compare the clinical efficacy of DAA approach and other surgical approaches for THA. RESULTS After rigorous screening, 15 RCT studies were included in our study, and data were extracted. The study included 1,450 patients from 15 RCTs, with a mean age of 63 years and a distribution of 52-67 years. Six weeks after the operation, the Harris hip score of the DAA approach improved by an average of 4.06 points (95% confidence interval (CI) 2.54 -5.59, P < 0.01, I 2 = 45%, which can significantly improve the clinical efficacy of patients. However, the 0.61 points [95% confidence interval (CI) -1.13 -2.34, P > 0.01, I 2 = 0%] at 3 months and 1.49 points [95% confidence interval (CI) -1.65 -2.25, P > 0.01, I 2 = 0%] at 12 months postoperatively. In terms of dislocation rate, results show that the use of DAAs does not reduce Dislocation Rate with significant statistical heterogeneity among study groups (95% CI 0.18-2.94 P > 0.001, I 2 = 0%). CONCLUSION The hip function of DAA was superior to posterolateral approach (PLA) and latera approach (LA) in the early days after hip replacement, especially within six weeks. However, at six months or more after surgery, the difference was not significant. The DAA did not show a lower rate of dislocation than other surgical approaches.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Advanced age is considered a major risk factor for postoperative complications in total hip arthroplasty (THA). Consequently, older patients undergoing THA may require more detailed pre-procedural examinations and more healthcare resources postoperatively than younger patients. The purpose of this study was to compare discharge parameters and complication rates of THA in patients ⩾90 years old to those <90 years old. METHODS A retrospective review of 14,824 THA patients from 2011 to 2021 at a high-volume, urban academic centre was conducted. Patients ⩾90 years old were propensity-matched to a control group of patients aged <90 years old. Patient demographics, surgical time, hospital length of stay (LOS), discharge disposition, and 90-day revision, readmission, and mortality rates were collected. Demographic differences and outcomes were assessed using chi-square and independent sample t-tests. RESULTS After propensity matching, the average age in the younger cohort (YC, n = 54) was 75.81 ± 7.89, and 91.61 ± 1.73 for the older cohort (OC, n = 54). The OC had a longer LOS than the YC (mean 3.90 vs. 3.06 days; p = 0.031). Discharge disposition significantly differed (p = 0.007); older patients were more likely to be discharged to skilled nursing facilities (33.3% vs. 14.8%) or acute rehabilitation centres (14.8% vs. 3.7%) and less likely to be discharged to prior place of residence (home self-managed/home with services, 51.9% vs. 79.6%). There was no significant difference in surgical time (93.87 ± 29.75 vs. 96.09 ± 26.31 min; p = 0.682), 90-day revision rate (3.7% vs. 0%; p = 0.153), 90-day readmission rate (9.4% vs. 3.7%; p = 0.543), and 90-day mortality rate (1.9% vs. 1.9%; p = 1.000). CONCLUSIONS Although THA patients over 90 years of age had a longer LOS and differing discharge disposition, these patients had similar complications compared to their younger counterparts. Thus, our study supports similar efficacy of THA in patients 90 years and older relative to younger THA candidates.

The direct anterior approach to the hip: a useful tool in experienced hands or just another approach? ARTHROPLASTY 2022; 4:1.

Abstract
The direct anterior approach (DAA) to the hip was initially described in the nineteenth century and has been used sporadically for total hip arthroplasty (THA). However, recent increased interest in tissue-sparing and small incision arthroplasty has given rise to a sharp increase in the utilization of the DAA. Although some previous studies claimed that this approach results in less muscle damage and pain as well as rapid recovery, a paucity in the literature exists to conclusively support these claims. While the DAA may be comparable to other THA approaches, no evidence to date shows improved long-term outcomes for patients compared to other surgical approaches for THA. However, the advent of new surgical instruments and tables designed specifically for use with the DAA has made the approach more feasible for surgeons. In addition, the capacity to utilize fluoroscopy intraoperatively for component positioning is a valuable asset to the approach and can be of particular benefit for surgeons during their learning curve. An understanding of its limitations and challenges is vital for the safe employment of this technique. This review summarizes the pearls and pitfalls of the DAA for THA in order to improve the understanding of this surgical technique for hip replacement surgeons.

Abstract
The potential of post-operative complication may exclude elderly patients from undergoing single-staged bilateral total hip arthroplasty (SSBTHA). This study retrospective compared perioperative complications between SSBTHA patients <70 (N = 157) and ≥70 (N = 56) years of age. Patients ≥70 had significantly lower body mass index (p = 0.029) and had a higher ASA classification (p = 0.041) compared to patients <70. No differences in post-operative complications or transfusion rates were found between age groups. However, patients ≥70 were less likely to be discharged home. While SSBTHA can safely be performed in patients ≥70, the risk of transfusion may suggest pre-operative hemoglobin screenings, especially for patients ≥70.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To provide guidelines for surgery and reduce the incidence of fracture, this study analyzed the relationship between femoral fracture and related factors in direct anterior approach (DAA) total hip arthroplasty (THA) in the lateral decubitus position. METHOD A retrospective series of 273 consecutive patients who underwent THA with the DAA in the lateral decubitus position was analyzed. Each surgery was performed by the same surgeon with a conventional operation bed and femoral stem. The correlations between the incidence of fracture and sex, age, body mass index (BMI), height, osteoporosis, the anterior superior iliac spine-greater trochanter distance (ASIS-GTD), and hip joint disease were analyzed by univariate analysis and logistic regression analysis. RESULTS Among all hip arthroplasty procedures, 35 hips had femoral fractures, including 30 greater trochanter fractures, 4 proximal femoral splits, and 1 femoral perforation. The incidence of fracture was 12.82%. Univariate analysis showed no significant difference in the incidence of fracture by sex, BMI, or age. However, osteoporosis caused an increase in the incidence of fracture, while the incidence of fracture decreased as height and the ASIS-GTD increased. The incidence of femoral neck fracture was lower in cases of osteonecrosis of the femoral head than in cases of other diseases. Logistic regression showed a significant correlation between osteoporosis, the ASIS-GTD, and fractures. Patients with osteoporosis had a high possibility of fracture (OR = 2.414); the possibility of fracture decreased with increasing ASIS-GTD (OR = 0.938). CONCLUSION Lateral decubitus DAA THA can be successfully performed using a conventional operation bed and stem, effectively saving medical resources. Osteoporosis and a shorter ASIS-GTD were independent risk factors for femoral fracture.
