Objectives: Evaluation of the quality of life for patient with total hip arthroplasty surgery (THA) and
whether patients with poor function before THA have the ability to recover less than those with less
preoperative disability.
Subjects and methods: A prospective study evaluated the preoperative and 3-month postoperative
health-related quality of life score of 41 patients with THA due to hip osteoarthritis (OA) and femoral head
necrosis (FHN) in Hanoi Medical University Hospital from February 201 to November 2017. The study
divided into 2 function groups following the median preoperative Western Ontario McMaster Universities
Osteoarthritis Index (WOMAC) physical function scores.
Results: Average age is 53.78± 8.95. Male/female ratio is approximately 3: 1. 87.8% patients with
femoral head necrosis situation. 100% patients had good health related to quality of life. However, low
function group improves more signifi cantly than high function group. In addition, the proportion of normal
number patients after 3 months of THA between low and high function group was 20.38%, and 23.53%,
respectively for WOMAC physical functioning.
Conclusion: Total hip arthroplasty surgery signifi cantly improves patient health and well-being. THA
surgery helps patients improve signifi cant quality of life regardless the level of physical functioning before
surgery.
