An observational study in Hip Osteoarthritis, sponsored by Anne Arundel Health System Research Institute. Withdrawn at 1 site in United States. Open to participants aged 40 Years to 90 Years. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2014-12-18.
Sponsored by Anne Arundel Health System Research Institute · Observational
The investigators propose to evaluate and compare the percentage of patients who are able to be discharged in less than 3 days after undergoing total hip arthroscopy through either a direct anterior or posterior approach, utilizing the identical post operative protocol. The investigators also propose to evaluate the costs associated with the two different approaches to hip replacement in the same group of patients. Post operative resource utilization, discharge disposition, and pain medicine requirement will also be evaluated.
The investigators hypothesize that a higher proportion of patients treated with the direct anterior approach for hip replacement will be able to leave the hospital in less than 3 days when compared with a less invasive posterior approach. Secondly, decreased length of stay associated with the procedure may reduce hospital costs.

Patients who have undergone primary uncemented hip replacement at our institution (Anne Arundel Medical Center) through either a posterior approach or direct anterior approach on a fracture table utilizing the identical post operative protocol.
Exclusion Criteria:
Single surgeon series of 105 consecutive patients who underwent hip replacement via the direct anterior approach on a fracture table
105 consecutive patients previously operated on by a less invasive posterior approach at the same institution. These surgeries occurred prior to March, 2010.
Length of Hospital Stay
The length of stay and proportion of patients who went home in less than 3 days will be determined for each group. To evaluate and compare the percentage of patients who are able to be discharged in less than 3 days after undergoing total hip arthroscopy through either a direct anterior or posterior approach, utilizing the identical post operative protocol.
Time frame: Retrospective review of hospital discharge records
Hospital cost
Hospital cost analysis will be undertaken for each group.
Time frame: Retrospective review of utilization records
Post Operative Pain Medication Utilization
Analysis of post operative pain medicine requirement will be compared for the two groups.
Time frame: After retrospective chart review is complete -- approximately 6 months
Utilization of inpatient physical therapy resources
Utilization of inpatient physical therapy resources and post hospital discharge disposition will be compared for the two groups.
Time frame: Retrospective review -- of hospital discharge
