Abstract

The durability of total hip arthroplasty (THA) is affected by patient-related factors such as age, gender, body weight, disease, and bone quality, as well as the materials and design factors of the hip implants, and the surgical technique employed. Bone quality may relate to the longevity of hip implants via the risk of periprosthetic fractures, but nowadays this is not a big issue due to the advancement of materials, designs, and techniques in THA.
