Abstract

Currently there are 208,600 total hip arthroplasties (THAs) performed for a variety of indications in the United States yearly. These numbers are projected to increase approximately 174% by 2030 with a total of 572,000 THAs performed annually. Despite these projections, only a small fraction of patients with osteoarthritis (OA) will require operative intervention. Before a patient is considered for a surgical procedure, all nonoperative measures of management should be exhausted; this process can often continue over several years. Therefore, orthopedic surgeons must be skilled in the early diagnosis of OA and well versed in the use of established and current nonoperative treatments. © 2024 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.
