Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Despite its popularity, the direct anterior approach for hip arthroplasty is not without complications. Intraoperative femoral shaft perforation using this approach ranges from 0.8% to 7%. A missed perforation can lead to fracture with the need for further surgery if not detected intraoperatively. We describe a reproducible and cost-effective technique using a plastic Yankauer suction handle to help identify proximal femoral perforations during direct anterior total hip arthroplasty. Careful attention to the visual, tactile, and auditory feedback provided by the suction handle can help ensure the cortical continuity of the proximal femur. Familiarity with relevant surgical anatomy, improving surgical technique, and scrutinizing implant positioning helps minimize the risk of complications during the direct anterior approach.
