| Abstract: | - •
- TOTAL HIP ARTHROPLASTY (THA) has been proven to decrease a patient's pain and improve function and quality of life. This procedure has been performed in the United States since 1960. Follow-up data suggest long-term success with a decreasing rate of complications and low rate of revision.
- •
- MORE THAN 168,000 THA procedures are performed in the United States every year. There is an 80% chance these hip replacements will last at least 20 years.
- •
- CURRENT IMPROVEMENTS in hip designs, surgical techniques, fixation methods, prophylactic therapies, preadmission education, and rehabilitation have contributed to improved patient outcomes. AORN J 78 (December 2003) 947-969.
