Abstract
The most frequent indication for total hip arthroplasty (THA) is hip osteoarthritis. THA is inserted to improve function, reduce pain, and improve quality of life. Results are generally good, and 90-95% of the patients are satisfied. However, there are risks associated with THA, and patients must be well informed. Before THA is considered, non-surgical treatment must be completed, as the need for surgery often is postponed. Patients can expect rapid mobilisation and a return to a near-habitual level of physical activity within a year. In Denmark, 95% have their THA after five years and 76% after 25 years.
