Change in hip laxity after anterior capsular suture in total hip arthroplasty using direct anterior approach

Abstract It is clinically unclear whether anterior capsular suture improves hip laxity in total hip arthroplasty using direct anterior approach (DAA-THA). This study aimed to clarify the impact of anterior capsular suture for hip laxity in DAA-THA. In this study, 121 hips of 112 patients who underwe...

description Abstract It is clinically unclear whether anterior capsular suture improves hip laxity in total hip arthroplasty using direct anterior approach (DAA-THA). This study aimed to clarify the impact of anterior capsular suture for hip laxity in DAA-THA. In this study, 121 hips of 112 patients who underwent DAA-THA were prospectively enrolled. Mean age was 64.7 ± 10.1 years, and the subjects consisted of 35 hips in 32 men and 86 hips in 80 women. To evaluate hip laxity after implantation, axial head transfer distance (HTD) when the hip was pulled axially at 15 kg was compared before and after anterior capsular suture at the hip intermediate and 10° extension positions. HTD in the intermediate and 10° extension positions averaged 5.9 ± 4.6 mm and 6.3 ± 4.6 mm before the suture, and 2.6 ± 2.7 mm and 2.9 ± 3.1 mm after the suture, respectively. HTD after the suture significantly decreased in both hip positions (p < 0.0001). The amount of change by the suture was greater in cases with greater pre-suturing HTD. In DAA-THA, the anterior capsular suture significantly improved hip laxity against axial traction force, it may contribute to improvement of postoperative hip stability, especially in cases with greater laxity before the suture.
