Revision total hip arthroplasty (THA) has gained importance over the past few years. However, in the literature, there are many recommendations for both surgical intervention and postoperative rehabilitation. The purpose of this nationwide German survey was to identify the actual treatment of revision THA and to compare the findings of this study with guidelines in the current literature. ⋯ In many aspects, revision THA is not performed consistently in Germany. In particular, in the postoperative course, a standardized therapeutic pathway was not always identified.
