A Comparative Analysis of Functional Outcomes between Lateral and Posterolateral Approaches in Total Hip Arthroplasty.

Background: Total hip arthroplasty (THA) stands as the definitive gold standard treatment for degenerative hip disorders. Various approaches have been proposed for THA, each with its own set of advantages and disadvantages. This study aimed to compare the initial functional outcomes of the lateral and posterolateral approaches to determine the approach with superior functional outcomes.
