Hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the hip joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant, that is, a hip prosthesis.
A total hip replacement (total hip arthroplasty or THA) consists of replacing both the acetabulum and the femoral head while hemiarthroplasty generally only replaces the femoral head. Hip replacement is currently one of the most common orthopaedical operations, though patient satisfaction short- and long-term varies widely.
In this paper we present the case of a 75-year-old woman, with classic uncemented hip prosthesis intervention, from the preoperative preparation stage to 1 year after the intervention and the recovery phases and their evolution. Due to a quality management of the intervention and good hygiene and nutrition, the lack of osteoporosis and the absence of paleopathology, the patient recovered in a fast and correct manner, returning to a good functionality and state of health. Also, the cooperation between the patient, family, therapist, doctor and psychologist had a decisive role in the success of both the intervention and the postoperative period with optimal results for the age and possibilities of the patient.
