Abstract
We aimed to report causes of readmission 30 and 90 days following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the direct anterior approach (DAA). Three hundred and two patients (335 hips) underwent a DAA-THA for primary osteoarthritis. The main reasons for 30 and 90-day readmission were wound related problems, dislocation (rate: 0.9%) and deep infection. The readmission rates at 30 and 90 days were 1.8% and 2.7%, respectively. Age over 60 years and morbidly obese patients were at risk for complications. The DAA-THA was associated with low readmission rates. Obesity should be adressed preoperatively.
