TY - JOUR AU - Henderson, Robert Andrew AU - Good, Robert Paul AU - Levicoff, Eric Alan PY - 2017 TI - Mini-posterior approach for primary total hip arthroplasty JF - Annals of Joint; Vol 2 (June 2017): Annals of Joint Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - Total hip arthroplasty (THA) can be performed safely and with excellent patient outcomes through a wide variety of surgical approaches. In recent years, the advent of so-called ‘minimally-invasive’ surgical approaches has included developments in the surgical approach for THA. The mini-posterior approach (MPA) is one such approach, typically defined as incorporating a standard posterior joint access with more limited muscular dissection and/or incision length <10 cm. This review will attempt to define the MPA, review the available literature on this technique, and discuss the surgical technique in detail. UR - https://aoj.amegroups.org/article/view/3716
