Although a special carbon fiber traction table for THA improves the accuracy of implant positioning, it is too expensive. We aimed to report the accuracy of cup positioning and complication rate in patients undergoing THA via the direct anterior approach using a conventional noncarbon fiber traction table, which is generally used for osteosynthesis of femoral fractures.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>This retrospective study included 101 patients who received primary THA via the direct anterior approach using a conventional traction table with fluoroscopy between July 2022 and October 2024. Two observers evaluated radiological outcomes using postoperative anteroposterior X-rays. The intraclass correlation coefficients of cup positioning angles were calculated (inclination: 0.92, anteversion: 0.89 for intra-observer agreement; inclination: 0.91, anteversion: 0.85 for inter-observer agreement). Complications were defined as dislocation, periprosthetic fracture, ankle fracture, implant loosening, nerve injury, surgical site infection, deep vein thrombosis, and revision surgery for any reason.<\/jats:p>\n          <\/jats:sec>\n          <jats:sec>\n            <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n            <jats:p>Radiographic analysis showed an average cup inclination of 38.1\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20094.1\u00b0 (99.0% within Lewinnek\u2019s safe zone). The average cup anteversion was 12.0\u00b0\u2009\u00b1\u20094.7\u00b0 (97.0% within Lewinnek\u2019s safe zone).
