Mini-incision THA has not been shown to have any clinical benefit in terms of hip function at long term followup. Proponents of this technique claim less soft tissue damage may allow for faster recovery. Digioia et al, looked at mini-incision THA vs standard THA using navigation. Although limp, distance walked, and stair function was better at 6 months with mini-incision THA, there were no significant differences in pain, function, or motion at 1 year.
