Anterior Capsulectomy Versus Capsulotomy With Repair in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Capsulectomy in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty and Capsulotomy in Direct Anterior Total Hip Arthroplasty for Hip Arthrosis and 2 related conditions. Completed, enrolled 98 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
In this prospective, randomized study, investigators will look at the outcome of total hip arthroplasty through the anterior approach in regard to the surgical treatment of the anterior hip capsule. At this time, there are 2 different techniques: one is excising this capsule and the second one is cutting the capsule and repairing it at the end of the procedure. The investigators set out to determine whether incising or repairing the capsule will benefit the patients in terms of postoperative pain level, range of motion of the hip joint, joint stability, surgical time and blood loss. Both preserving and excising the joint capsule are accepted techniques in performing total hip arthroplasty. The Investigators hypothesize that capsulectomy may allow for reduction in operative time, provide superior surgical exposure, and increased range of motion after surgery. The influence on post operative pain and dislocation rate is unknown.
