Abstract:
Total hip arthroplasty is an extremely successful procedure that relieves pain and improves function. Orthopaedic surgeons should understand how to improve outcomes of patients who undergo primary total hip arthroplasty. Orthopaedic surgeons can enhance the outcomes of total hip arthroplasty by optimizing preoperative and perioperative management, improving surgical techniques, and selecting an appropriate femoral component and bearing surface.
