| Abstract: | Abstract Total hip replacement is widely known to be effective in the management of pain and functional status. Instead, less is known regarding patients perspective through the measurement of health-related quality of life. A retrospective study was conducted to evaluate patient-relevant outcomes in a homogeneous sample of patients who underwent total hip replacement. Long-term results were evaluated through a self-administered questionnaire and clinical examination. We were able to re-contact 84.8% of patients at the follow-up, at an average of 7.35 years. The results confirm the value of the treatment of hip arthritis, demonstrating the impact of hip replacement on physical function and pain and consequently on the improvement of quality of life. |
