Background: Muscle sparing approaches in total hip replacement has been more popular in recent years. There are a lack off good evidence regarding the learning curve for those approaches.

Method: A single center, multi surgeon, study using CUSUM analysis.
Purpose: Exploring the learning curve in total hip replacement utilizing a direct anterior approach

Aim: To get a estimate of which outcomes that are affected by the learning curve and the length of the learning curve in a single center
