Most patients report high satisfaction after total hip replacement surgery. Factors like rheumatoid arthritis and bilateral procedures correlate with better outcomes, while prior or additional surgeries may decrease satisfaction.

Area of Science:

Orthopedic Surgery
Patient Outcomes Research

Background:

Total hip replacement is a common procedure for hip joint issues.
Assessing patient satisfaction is crucial for evaluating surgical success.

Purpose of the Study:

To evaluate patient satisfaction levels following total hip replacement.
To identify factors influencing satisfaction and dissatisfaction.

Main Methods:

A multicenter study surveyed 1074 patients 9-15 months post-total hip replacement.
Patient satisfaction was assessed via a questionnaire, with responses analyzed against clinical data.

Main Results:

90% of 1027 respondents were satisfied with their total hip replacement outcome.
Highest satisfaction rates were observed in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and those undergoing bilateral hip replacement.

Dissatisfaction was linked to prior hip surgery and additional procedures.

Conclusions:

Total hip replacement generally yields high patient satisfaction.
Patient-specific factors and surgical history significantly impact satisfaction levels.
