Abstract

During the last decade there have been significant changes in the perioperative management of total hip replacement patients. This process begins in the preoperative phase. Many patients are much better informed and standardized preoperative patient programs improve patient outcome and optimize the clinical pathways. The techniques in perioperative pain management have also significantly improved. The surgeon should not only rely on the anesthesiologist but should also use the options available during surgery. Postoperative weight bearing is handled in a much more progressive way than previously. In a standard primary hip replacement pain-adapted full weight bearing is possible if there are no patient-specific problems. There has also been a shift in the postoperative capability of performing athletic or recreational activities. In general patients can perform those activities that were performed before the surgery, which also includes, for example downhill skiing.
