About this trial

This is an interventional treatment trial for Coxarthrosis focused on measuring Coxarthrosis, Hip arthroplasty, Anterior approach, Direct lateral approach, Hardinge approach, Smith-Petersen approach, Osteoarthrosis

Eligibility Criteria

20 Years - 80 Years (Adult, Older Adult)All SexesDoes not accept healthy volunteers

Inclusion Criteria:

  • Clinical and radiological diagnosis of coxarthrosis

Exclusion Criteria:

  • Previous surgery on affected hip
  • No mental disability preventing follow-up

Sites / Locations

  • Sorlandet Hospital HF

Arm 1

Arm 2

Arm Type

Active Comparator

Active Comparator

Arm Label

Direct lateral approach

Anterior approach

Arm Description

Patient operated using direct lateral approach.

Patient operated using anterior approach.

Outcomes

Primary Outcome Measures

Change in function
Function of the operated hip will be evaluated after 3, 6, 12 and 24 months using Oxford Hip Score, Harris Hip Score and 6-minute-walk-test. Improvement in general health will be evaluated by using Eq-5D.

Secondary Outcome Measures

Muscle damage
CK-total is measured direct postoperativly and for the next four consequtive days. CRP is measured the first four postoperative days.
Pain
Pain using Visual Analog Scale and the use of analgetics (converted to opioid equivalent doses) are recorded.
X-ray assessment
Placement of the acetabular component (inclination and version) and femoral stem (varus/valgus) and migration.
MRI
A subselection of about 40 patients will undergo MRI-scans preoperatively and after 3 and 12 months to assess tendon- and muscledamage.

5. Study Description

Brief Summary
In total hip arthroplasty several approaches can be used. The newly introduced minimally invasive anterior approach is supposed to cause less damage to tendons and muscles. At the same time there are reports that there are more complications when this approach is used. The direct lateral approach is the most used in Norway and is well documented. There are however those who postulate that there is to high risk of damage to the gluteus medius causing Trendelenburg gait. In the investigators hospital both the anterior and direct lateral approach is used with good result. The investigators main study hypothesis is that there is no difference between the use of anterior or direct lateral approach i total hip arthroplasty in regards to postoperative function and pain, complications, radiological finds (X-ray and MRI), markers for muscle damage (i.e CK-total) or other clinical outcomes.
