Comparison of anterior and posterior approaches for hip resurfacing arthroplasty: a gait analysis study

This is the first study to compare gait following HRA via both the POS and DAA. At one-year postoperatively, both approaches restored gait patterns comparable to healthy controls, with no significant differences in kinematics, kinetics, or spatiotemporal parameters. PROMs were similarly excellent across groups indicating high functional recovery and engagement in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity.
