Summary:Introduction: The current craze for minimally invasive approaches is leading to a renewed interest in total hip arthroplasty, but to our knowledge there is no evidence of the superiority of an operative technique in terms of quality of walking recovery. This review aims to analyze the restoration of the spatio-temporal parameters of gait in first-line total hip arthroplasty suites on hip osteoarthritis and perform a comparison of recovery according to the surgical technique.Materials and Method: 15 studies were analyzed according to the main criteria of walking speed, unipodal support time, step length and preoperative loading and in the short, medium- and long-term postoperative period.Results: Although most of the results obtained in the studies analyzed show an improvement in these criteria post-operatively, they remain lower than those obtained in a healthy population.Conclusion: This work does not highlight the superiority of recovery of the operation of a surgical technique.
