What this study is about

The study team is conducting this study to see if there is a difference between the wound healing and participant satisfaction rates between two incision types used during a THA done via the DAA technique.

A promising-looking record is not the same as confirmed eligibility. The study team must review the full criteria and current recruitment status.

Treatments and study arms

Bikini Incision

Procedure

Participants will receive the bikini incision in person during THA. A one-time incision will be made along the groin line before standard of care THA surgery. The surgery takes approximately two hours.

Longitudinal Incision

Procedure

Participants will receive the longitudinal incision in person during THA. A one-time linear incision will be made along the thigh before standard-of-care THA surgery. The surgery takes approximately two hours.
