Summary: | Abstract We investigated the influence of the posterior approach with soft tissue repair in revision hip arthroplasty by evaluating the rate of early posterior dislocation. Ninety-one patients (96 hips) who had undergone revision hip arthroplasty through the posterior approach were observed for 1 year or until dislocation occurred. Fifty-six revision hip arthroplasties were performed using the posterior approach with soft tissue repair technique. The results of these procedures were compared with those of 40 revision hip arthroplasties that had been performed using the posterior approach without soft tissue repair. The dislocation rate of 10.0% in 40 hips using the posterior approach without soft tissue repair was reduced to 1.9% in 56 hips using the posterior approach with soft tissue repair. |
