PURPOSE OF THE STUDY:
Although total hip arthroplasty (THA) is one of the most successful orthopedic operations, the soft tissue trauma towards the periarticular musculature during surgical approaches remains a critical concern. However, the actual microstructural proof of muscle trauma on the level of the myofiber due to the surgical approach has never been claimed.

MATERIAL AND METHODS:
Patients undergoing THA were prospectively enrolled and either operated by a direct lateral (DL) or a anterolateral minimally invasive approach (ALMI). Intraoperatively and at 6 months follow-up a needle biopsy was taken from the gluteus medius muscle and the tensor fasciae latae. Pre- and post-operative fiber diameter and composition, of gluteal medius muscle (GMM) and the tensor fasciae latae muscle (TFLM) were compared in both surgical approaches.

RESULTS:
A total of 19 patients (12 F; 7 M) were included in this study. The average pre-operative fiber diameter or fiber type composition did not differ significantly in the GMM and TFLM, nor did it vary among patients with different approaches. The muscle fiber diameter significantly increased post-operatively in the TFLM, in both, the DL (p = 0.043) and the ALMI (p = 0.043) approach. There was a trend towards more pronounced muscle fiber changes in the DL (TFLM: p = 0.077; GMM: p = 0.150), compared to the ALMI.

DISCUSSION: AND CONCLUSIONS
Our results show microstructural changes to the periarticular musculature following THA by a compensatory hypertrophy of the TFLM and GMM. These adaptions directly next to the surgical trauma were observed in DL and AMLI.
