Clinical and Patient‐Reported Outcomes of the <scp>SuperPath</scp> Versus Hardinge Approach in Total Hip Replacement for Osteoarthritis: A Retrospective Cohort Study
Although the SuperPath approach led to slightly better pain, function and quality of life outcomes than the Direct Lateral approach, the difference was below the minimal clinically important difference (MCID) although statistically significant. There were no differences in other clinical outcomes except for shorter surgery duration, presumably since there were more cemented procedures in the Direct Lateral group.
