Primary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
To compare the clinical and radiological outcomes of THA with direct anterior approach
(DAA) versus posterior approach. 
Preoperative period upto 1 year of Postoperative follow up, including regular follow ups at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year. 
 
Secondary Outcome  
Outcome  TimePoints 
• To compare tissue damage between Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) versus Posterior Approach THA by blood tests and MRI.
• To compare functional outcomes between DAA vs Posterior approach THA using patient reported outcome scores and Gait analysis.
• To compare rate of return to activities of daily living using a milestone diary.
• To compare the radiological outcomes between the two groups for optimal implant positioning and leg length using standard radiographs and EOSTM scan. 
Preoperative period upto 1 year of Postoperative follow up, including regular follow ups at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year.

Brief Summary  
The study aims to compare the clinical and radiological outcomes in patients undergoing Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA) with direct anterior approach (DAA) versus posterior approach. Blood tests, MRI, EOS scan, Gait analysis, Radiological and clinical evaluation shall be done at preoperative period, immediate postop period, and at 2 weeks, 6 weeks, 3 months and 1 year postoperatively.  Primary objectives being:
• To compare tissue damage between Direct Anterior Approach (DAA) versus Posterior Approach THA by blood tests and MRI.
• To compare functional outcomes between DAA vs Posterior approach THA using patient reported outcome scores and Gait analysis.
• To compare rate of return to activities of daily living using a milestone diary.
• To compare the radiological outcomes between the two groups for optimal implant positioning and leg length using standard radiographs and EOSTM scan.
