The goals of this study are to identify predictors of improvement in quality of life and satisfaction with total hip arthroplasty three to five years after surgery. Predictors that will be considered are variables that were obtained prospectively and systematically at the time of surgery, including demographic characteristics, functional status, expectations, perioperative complications, and comorbidity. At the follow-up functional status and patient satisfaction will be measured, as well as fulfillment of expectations and predispositional factors.
