Abstract
Total hip replacement has made a remarkable contribution to a lifestyle restoration of many patients in the past. Currently, there are approximately 1 Mio. total hip procedures performed annually, and this number can be expected to grow in the future, because life expectancy is increasing worldwide. More than 50% of the European population aged 50 or older has some kind of arthritis or joint disfunction (Fig. 9.1).
