Investigation on the quality of life after anterior minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty: Commentary on recent findings

Table 1 Comparison of minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty with traditional total hip arthroplasty

	MIS-THA	Traditional THA
Advantages	Reduced trauma and faster recovery, shorter hospital stay, smaller incision and better aesthetics	Excellent surgical field of vision and broader application range, mature technology with simpler operative procedures
Disadvantages	Higher surgical complexity and steeper learning curve	Greater trauma and longer recovery time, more extensive tissue damage
Long-term efficacy and outcomes	Superior early rehabilitation outcomes, comparable to traditional THA	Stable long-term efficacy

THA: Total hip arthroplasty; MIS-THA: Minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty.
