Abstract
Heterotopic ossification (HO) is a complication following total hip arthroplasty (THA) with traditional approaches. The direct anterior approach (DAA) has become a popular approach for THA; however, no study has evaluated HO formation following DAA THA. We examined the incidence of HO in a consecutive series of THA using the DAA in two separate hospitals. Standard preoperative radiographs were examined to determine the type of degenerative arthritis, and follow-up radiographs of at least 6 months after surgery were evaluated for the presence and classification of HO. The overall incidence of HO after DAA THA in this study was 98/236, or 41.5%, which falls within the reported range from recent studies involving more traditional approaches to the hip.
