About this study

This study will compare postoperative pain, health related quality of life (HRQoL), function, rehabilitation, urinary incontinence, muscle atrophy and component positioning in total hip arthroplasty (THA) using the posterolateral approach (PLA) or the direct superior approach (DSA). In addition, the CT images will be used to validate a new metal artefact reduction technique.
