Abstract
The direct anterior approach (DAA) is gaining popularity in primary total hip arthroplasty (THA). Although DAA has demonstrated many advantages over other surgical approaches, periprosthetic femur fractures (PPFF) rates continue to be higher. Femoral stem designs that allow for easier insertion via a DAA may contribute to the higher rates of fracture seen in this approach. Certain stem designs and fixation methods may reduce the risk of PPFF via a DAA in primary THA.
