    AbstractTo investigate the outcomes of the direct anterior approach (DAA) in total hip arthroplasty (THA) and its impact on improving hip joint function. This retrospective analysis included 94 patients who underwent THA between December 2017 and December 2020 at Dongguan Hospital, Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine. The study group comprised 50 patients who received the DAA, while the control group comprised 44 patients who received the postero-lateral approach (PA). The follow-up period was 12 months. A comparison was made between the 2 groups based on perioperative indicators (operation time, intraoperative blood loss, hospitalization time, bed rest time, incision length, pain score), duration of walker use, incidence of postoperative complications, hip joint function (Harris score), quality of life (SF-36), and activities of daily living (ADL). The treatment effectiveness rate was higher in the study group (P < .05). The study group had a longer operation time, lower intraoperative blood loss, shorter hospitalization and bed rest time, smaller incision length, and lower visual analog scale (VAS) score after treatment, with statistically significant differences (P < .05). The study group also had a shorter duration of walker use after surgery (P < .05). The Harris score after treatment was higher in the study group compared to the control group (P < .05). Additionally, the study group had higher SF-36 scores and ADL scores after treatment (P < .05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of postoperative complications between the 2 groups (P > .05). The DAA in THA resulted in reduced pain and intraoperative blood loss, contributing to the promotion of postoperative recovery in patients with good short-term outcomes. This procedure warrants further promotion.Copyright © 2024 the Author(s). Published by Wolters Kluwer Health, Inc.
