Despite some evidence of declining hip fracture prevalence rates, hip fractures remain a persistent cause of excessive morbidity, reduced life quality, and premature mortality among older adults. In addition, because the observed reversal of the hip fracture secular trend may not apply universally, it is likely the annual incidence of hip fractures will increase, rather than decrease over the next few decades. In this article, various studies have been discussed in order to determine the quality of life in the patients undergoing hip arthroplasty.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
