Objective To study the rehabilitation effects of total hip arthroplasty (THA) through different surgical approaches to provide reference for clinical treatment. Methods The clinical data of patients requiring total hip replacement who were admitted from September 2023 to June 2024 were selected and divided into 30 cases in the posterior approach (SuperPATH) group and the direct anterior approach ( DAA) group, 30 cases. General perioperative indicators and postoperative recovery conditions were compared between the two groups. Results The SuperPATH group was superior to the DAA group in terms of operation time, incision length, ambulation time, hospitalization days and ambulation time (P>0.05). The VAS scores and Harris scores of the two groups of patients were significantly improved (P<0.05). The VAS score and Harris score of the SuperPATH group were better than those of the DAA group (P>0.05), and there was no significant difference in postoperative complications between the two groups (P>0.05). Conclusion Both groups can improve patients hip joint function and quality of life, but the SuperPATH approach has the advantages of small incision, early postoperative ambulation, and rapid postoperative recovery.
