For primary total hip arthroplasty, all surgical approaches except direct lateral approach had greater improvements in hip score compared to posterior approach. However, the safety of different approaches did not show significant differences. https://t.co/WHpDGiyXhg

Many people do not need a follow-up appointment after hip or knee replacement surgery. Research found that most people who had replacement surgery using UK-recommended replacement joints can safely wait 10 years: https://t.co/L0ZQ9M0Dno@srkingsbury @lindsayksmith6 @LeedsBRC pic.twitter.com/Db6GUZG4SA
