More surgeon stress, strain with direct anterior approach for THA vs. posterior method

Published results showed the direct anterior approach for total hip arthroplasty was associated with significantly increased physiological stress and strain for surgeons compared with the posterior approach.
Researchers from Rothman Orthopaedic Institute prospectively analyzed 144 THAs, of which 67 were performed with the direct anterior approach and 77 were performed with the posterior approach.
Researchers equipped five high-volume fellowship-trained arthroplasty surgeons with smart vests (Hexoskin smart garment, Hexoskin) that recorded surgeon stress index, heart rate, respiratory rate,
