Total hip arthroplasty performed using conventional and navigated tissue-preserving techniques

Conventional total hip arthroplasty (THA) in its many forms has been well established as a reliable procedure with predictable recovery. By contrast, less invasive surgical techniques have been popularized without a strong scientific foundation. Most early reports document an increased incidence of perioperative complications as compared to established standards . These complications include increased incidences of femur fracture, cup malposition, dislocation, infection, abductor morbidity, and nerve palsy . Less invasive techniques vary widely with regard to the tissue intervals chosen and these choices largely determine the most common complications encountered.
