Sport after total hip arthroplasty: undoubted progress but still some unknowns

R M Dominic Meek et al. Bone Joint J. 2020 Jun.

Abstract

In this review, we discuss the evidence for patients returning to sport after hip arthroplasty. This includes the choices regarding level of sporting activity and revision or complications, the type of implant, fixation and techniques of implantation, and how these choices relate to health economics. It is apparent that despite its success over six decades, hip arthroplasty has now evolved to accommodate and support ever-increasing patient demands and may therefore face new challenges.
