    AbstractPopulation is getting older and arthroplasty is getting more common. And the evolution of implants and their better longevity enables arthroplasty to be done for younger patients too. Therefore sexual activity with hip prosthesis is more common. Literature demonstrates a positive effect of total hip arthroplasty for sexual activity. Despite the euphoria due to painfree movement of the joint, the risk of a luxation of prosthesis should not be underestimated. Especially during the first three months after surgery this risk is relatively high. This also makes sexual activity - not only in this time period, a potential risk for hip dislocation. We do recommend written guidelines for patients to be given to them preoperatively. This will allow some privacy.
