title: [Arthrosis and arthroplastic surgery influence patients' sex life, depression, and socioeconomy].
abstract: Over the past years there has been an increasing number of total hip or total knee arthroplastic operations. Due to demographic changes this tendency will probably continue. The operation frees the patient of disabling pain and stiffness and gives back the mobility to the patient. This systematic review addresses the impact an operation has on the patients' quality of life, economy, sex-life and possibly depression. We have identified relevant articles by search of PubMed MeSH database and a traditional search of PubMed. Furthermore we have evaluated the reference lists for articles of interest.
