Supine Positioning in Primary Total Hip Replacement is Associated with a Shorter Hospital Stay Than Lateral Positioning: A Retrospective Propensity-Score Matched Cohort Study
THR patients in supine positioning have a substantial reduction in hospital LOS compared to patients in lateral decubitus positioning, with supine position providing a 68% reduction in risk of long hospitalization. The two groups showed no difference in blood transfusion requirements.
