Orthopedic community, I'd like to open a debate on the optimal surgical approach for primary total hip arthroplasty in Yemen: anterior vs. posterior. What are the key advantages and disadvantages of each from your experience, particularly concerning post-operative dislocation rates, pain, and recovery time? Are there specific patient profiles that might favor one approach over the other in our context? Your clinical perspectives are highly valued.

Excellent topic, Dr. Al-Qudsi! For post-op pain, we've had great success with a multimodal approach combining regional blocks (femoral nerve block for knee, interscalene for shoulder) with scheduled NSAIDs and paracetamol, reserving opioids for breakthrough pain. This significantly reduces opioid consumption in our Yemeni patients.

While PRP shows promise, I remain cautious for full-thickness tears due to inconsistent evidence, especially in our setting. Physical therapy remains paramount. For partial tears, it might be an adjunctive therapy, but shouldn't replace a solid rehabilitation plan.
