P056 Gait analysis of patients with a minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty compared to a standard THA in the early postoperative period

Gait Kinematic Deviations in Patients With Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip Treated With Total Hip Arthroplasty

“…Most studies on gait function after THA focus mainly on the outcomes of different surgical techniques, such as direct anterior vs posterior approach, minimally invasive vs standard operative technique, and resurfacing vs no resurfacing. [8][9][10] For patients with Crowe type II, III, and IV DDH after THA, leg-length discrepancy is inevitable because of high hip center reconstruction or subtrochanteric osteotomy. In a previous study, the gait of 22 patients with Crowe type IV DDH after unilateral THA (with leg-length discrepancies corrected to within 2 cm) was compared with the gait of untreated unilateral Crowe type IV DDH patients without pain (with leg-length discrepancies greater than 2.5 cm).…”
