Interventions
The posterolateral approach
The posterolateral approach was used for implantation among patients in lateral position. This approach goes through the gluteus maximus, the piriformis and superior gemeli muscles are detached and later reattached to bone
Direct anterior technique
patients were fixed in a supine position, a small entry incision was made in the vessel free interval between the tensor fasciae latae and the sartorius muscles and the prosthesis socket were put in place. Via a second dorsal incision, after releasing the external rotators, the prosthesis stem and ball were implanted and the two parts of the prosthesis were attached
