[Recommendations for sexual activity after total hip arthroplasty - review of the literature].
Population 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. ⋯ 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.
