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.

For pediatric supracondylar humerus fractures, Dr. Al-Sarabi, I find that any displacement or rotation, even subtle, warrants referral for K-wire fixation to prevent malunion and potential neurovascular compromise. Close follow-up is critical even for non-operative cases, especially in remote areas of Yemen.
