Abstract

Currently more than 150,000 total hip arthroplasties (THA) are performed in Germany each year. Despite limited financial resources approximately 50% of these patients participate in a standardized inpatient rehabilitation program. This report reflects own experiences with patients after a minimally invasive approach for THA compared to others with conventional procedures, in context with findings from the literature. Rehabilitation and convalescence in patients with a minimally invasive approach for THA seem to have advantages especially in the first weeks after surgery, with manageable complications and socioeconomic improvements compared to conventional approaches.
