Postoperative Sports Activities

Sports participation after THA has become the focus of attention due to the clinical success of THA, its increasing performance in younger patients, and changing lifestyles. Several studies have demonstrated significant improvement in both sports participation rate and UCLA activity score, with favorable clinical outcomes after THA. Excellent wear performance of XLPE liners has been reported regardless of postoperative sports participation. 3D motion analyses during sports activities are also useful in advising patients on sports participation after THA.
