What are the pros and cons of anterior and posterior hip replacements?
Posterior hip replacement is easier to perform (the majority of cases use this approach), however some studies indicate that it has a slightly higher risk off dislocation (but not significantly so).Anterior approach is more technical (and requires more training), and may require special operating tables (which have been linked to complications such as broken ankles), however the recovery time is shorter (by a few days), and has a slightly lower risk of dislocation than the posterior approach.Unless the surgeon is a regular user of the anterior approach (done 20+), I would go for the posterior approach.
