Summary

This trial is comparing the outcomes of two different approaches to hip replacement - the Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) and the Supercapsular Percutaneously Assisted Total Hip (SuperPATH) approach. Both approaches replace hips without cutting any muscles. DAA has been used for many years, but it has a high learning curve and can be difficult for doctors to use. SuperPATH is a newer technique which has been shown in studies to be adopted with less complications even during the learning phase.
