Although dislocation rates were low in both groups, study results suggest that a direct lateral approach for primary THA may reduce postoperative dislocations for patients who have limited spinopelvic motion due to lumbar spine pathology. Furthermore, surgeons using the posterior approach might consider optimizing the femoral head to acetabular cup ratio in patients who have lumbar spine disease.
