Core Tip	The debate on an ideal approach for total hip arthroplasty/hemiarthroplasty is an everlasting one. The relatively newer approaches such as the direct anterior approach are appealing to many surgeons but lack long-term data to prove their benefits and efficacy. We found an article written of great significance to the above-mentioned topic. However, we sought to request the authors to clarify some points about this research article to further strengthen the message that is being conveyed.
