Abstract

Background & Method: The aim of this study is to analyse better procedure intra-operatively in various approaches for primary total hip replacement by functional scoring system & muscle charting. Total 40 patients were included in the study. All patients were avn hip or arthritic hip either unilateral or bilateral who had undergone total hip arthroplasty were included in study. On admission a careful evaluation of the hip was done which include the examination of neurovascular status, range of motion, various deformities and associated sysemic problems and health status of patient. 
 
Result: Total % improvement in oxford hip score was max in anterolateral approach (93.81%) & minimum in posterior (75.56%).
 
Conclusion: The question regarding which surgical approach to the hip to use to implant an artificial hip prosthesis has been debated extensively. Despite this, there is no consensus regarding which approach is best for primary THA. There are multiple surgical approaches for hip surgery & there r also multiple surgeons who advocate one particular approach over other. Best & preferable these two words r very different. There have been studies proving one approach superior than others but not a single approach has proved to be best.
