The hip joint is one of the largest joints in the human body. It consists of the head of the femur and the acetabulum on the pelvis. During the movement of the body and maintaining balance, the hip joint serves as support for the whole body. If, due to poor biomechanics, age, inactivity or injury, joint cartilage is damaged and occur degenerative changes in the joint. One of the most common degenerative changes in the hip joint is osteoarthritis. Osteoarthritis damages the articular cartilage and consequently causes pain and reduce joint function. If the symptoms affect the quality of life and conservative therapy has not led to a reduction in symptoms, the patient undergoes surgery or total hip arthroplasty. There are several types of endoprostheses. According to the number of parts, there are partial and complete (total) endoprotheses. Partial ones replace one articular body and complete replace both. Also, prostheses can be monolithic, made of one part and modular, made of several parts that are assembled during the operation. According to the method of fixation, there are cement, cementless and hybrid endoprotheses. In addition to all of the above, there are also revision and tumor endoprostheses. For endoprosthesis implantation, there are multiple surgical approaches to the joint. In the past, surgical procedures were larger and more complex, which in turn led to a longer recovery of patients. Today, minimally invasive procedures are being performed that minimize damage to the surrounding soft tissues. Rehabilitation can be performed in a rehabilitation center, but recent research shows that if there are no complications, exercising in your own home according to a program without the supervision of a physiotherapist has similar rehabilitation outcomes.
