Physical activity and the risk of aseptic loosening after total hip arthroplasty: a case–control study from the Norwegian Arthroplasty Register
A retrospectively self-reported level of physical activity at the patient`s best-remembered condition after primary THA was not associated with a higher risk of revision surgery due to aseptic loosening of the THA. Patients with THA should be encouraged to gain the health benefits of regular physical activity rather than restricting their activity level because of fear of implant wear and loosening.
