AI-assisted direct anterior approach versus posterolateral approach in total hip arthroplasty: a retrospective cohort study based on artifact-reduced CT 3D reconstruction
Both DAA and PLA approaches resulted in satisfactory postoperative outcomes; however, the DAA approach demonstrated enhanced early postoperative efficacy indicators, as well as improved femoral neck and acetabular anteversion compared to the PLA approach. This study advocates for the preferential adoption of the DAA technique for THA, while also emphasizing the importance of considering individual patient factors, as well as the surgeon's preferences and expertise.
