【 摘 要 】

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is widely considered to be one of the most successful surgical procedures in orthopaedics. It is associated with high satisfaction rates and significant improvement in quality of life following surgery.1,2 According to recently published data from the British National Joint Registry, the cumulative survival of THA at 13 years is 93.2%, with 80% of implants surviving up to 20 years.3,4 Moreover, the number of THAs performed worldwide is increasing. According to the Australian Arthroplasty Registry, there was an increase of 5.5% between 2015 and 2016, and an increase of 109.7% between 2003 and 2016 in that country.5 In Italy, between 2001 and 2015, there was an annual increase rate of 2.5% for THA performed.
