Authors' objectives:
This review aimed to assess the clinical effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of minimal incision approaches to THR for arthritis of the hip.
Authors' recommendations:
Compared with standard THR, minimal incision THR has small perioperative advantages in terms of blood loss and operation time. It may offer a shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery. It appears to have a similar procedure cost to standard THR, but evidence on its longer term performance is very limited. Further data are needed to assess long-term outcomes of single mini-incision or two mini-incision THR before robust decisions can be made. Further long-term follow-up data are also required on costs and outcomes.
