Regardless of whether patients underwent total hip arthroplasty or surface replacement arthroplasty, 40% of young and active patients in this study experienced pain around the hip following surgery.
A pain-drawing questionnaire investigating the location, severity and frequency of pain around the hip was completed by 420 patients younger than 60 years with a pre-symptomatic University of California, Los Angeles score of 6 or greater who underwent either total hip arthroplasty (THA) or surface replacement arthroplasty.
