[Physical activity and quality of life following total uncemented hip replacement and hip resurfacing].
BACKGROUND
The influence of physical activity on the survival of total hip replacement remains not fully recognized. It is unclear which activities are beneficient for patients following THR.


METHODS
The study was conducted on group of 87 patients (94 hips) following uncemented THR with ABGII/Trident and 45 patients (51 hips) following hip resurfacing. The follow-up period was 6-30 months for THR group and 6-42 months for resurfacing group.


METHODS
The patients answered a questionnaire based on WOMAC and SF-36 score, UCLA activity scale with additional questions concerning patients physical activity, working and place of living.


RESULTS
In WOMAC, physical domains of SF-36 and UCLA activity score patients following hip resurfacing showed better results. The most preferred activity in both groups was exercise walking and biking. The last one was particularly preferred by patients living in rural areas.


CONCLUSIONS
The vast majority of patients restricted their activity to disciplines with a safe range of hip weight bearing.
