One method is to operate through a single mini-incision Aim of review (generally defined as ≤ 10 cm) or two very small incisions (one 2 cm, the other up to 6 cm) to perform the same THA The aim of this evidence review is to assess the evidence in the performed in the standard approach procedure. [...] Review Design Limited incision less-invasive THA refers to a group of Search Strategy procedures performed through a minimal incision, generally defined as 6 - 10cm in length and often with the use of The objective of this evidence review was to assess the specialized instruments, with the aim of limiting soft tissue outcomes of less-invasive primary THA with respect to dissection during the inser [...] The authors concluded by noted a significant trend: the shorter the length of the incision, stating that the mini-incision approach “facilitates recovery the shorter the operative duration and the smaller the after THA, decreases blood transfusion requirements without an intraoperative blood loss. [...] The limitations of this study include the mismatch of sample This study suffers from several limitations such as the use of sizes, use of multiple surgeons, bias for lower BMI patients in multiple device types, unstated and likely short follow-up the mini-incision group, and the lack of follow-up data. [...] In the the mini-incision group were more serious, possibly due to the minimal-incision group, the surgical approach was greater pressure on the skin and soft tissues from stronger posterolateral, while a posterior surgical approach was used in retraction and more abrasion of the skin edges from reamers the standard THR group.
