Abstract

It is not clear if regaining sexual activity is important for patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty (THA) or whether hip surgeons are aware of and manage the concerns of their patients in this context. A questionnaire survey was conducted on 100 patients undergoing THA immediately before and six months after surgery. All members of the British Hip Society with a valid email address were surveyed. 86 patients responded. 71 were sexually active and of these, 55 (77%) believed their hip pathology had been limiting their sex lives. 39 (55%) would have preferred further information than was provided. 51 (72%) patients had recommenced sexual activity by six months post operation. 83 of 140 surgeons responded. 30 (36%) surgeons enquired preoperatively if symptoms were interfering with patients' sex lives and 32 (39%) provided written information about sexual activity following THA. 55 (66%) surgeons believed four weeks after surgery patients could resume sexual activity but only 21 (25%) surgeons regularly advised patients about an appropriate time to resume sexual activity. Sexual activity is adversely affected in many patients awaiting THA and regaining sexual function is important to these patients. Most surgeons do not discuss this with their patients and may not be aware of their patients' expectations in this respect.
