Brief Summary
Aim of the present investigation is to analyse the amount of muscle trauma in relation to the surgical approach and to the individual postoperative functional recovery. The investigation will compare the MIS (minimally invasive surgery) anterior approach with the MIS anterolateral approach to the hip.

Interventions
The minimally invasive anterior approach The patient is in supine position. The femoral neck is exposed in the interval between tensor fasciae latae, glutei medius and minimus muscles laterally, and sartorius and rectus femoris muscles medially. After osteotomy of the neck and extraction of the head the acetabulum is reamed to prepare for cup prosthesis. Following peritrochanteric capsulotomy the externally rotated, adducted and elevated femur is broached. The MIS anterolateral approach The MIS anterolateral technique is a modified Watson-Jones Approach. The patient is in supine position. This approach uses the intermuscular plane between the gluteus medius and the tensor fascia latae. After the anterior capsule is excised, a disc of the femoral neck is removed.
