This study evaluated patient assessments and attitudes regarding incision cosmesis following standard and minimally invasive total hip arthroplasty 1 to 3 years postoperatively. A cosmesis questionnaire designed to elicit a score evaluating scar satisfaction was mailed to patients. Although the difference in total cosmesis score between the standard and minimally invasive groups was not statistically significant, patients with a standard incision had better scores at <1 year. One significant finding was worse responses in the minimal incision patients regarding sinking and curling of scar edges. |
