Contrast-Enhanced Ultrasound Reveals Superior Gluteus Medius Muscle Vitality After Total Hip Arthroplasty in a Minimally Invasive Anterolateral Versus Lateral Surgical Approach
Significantly higher muscle perfusion parameters in the anterolateral group, alongside improved muscle strength recovery, hint at a subtle but important advantage regarding post-operative recovery of the anterolateral approach. These findings support the ongoing trend toward minimally invasive surgical approaches in THA.
