Is there a need for routine follow‐up after primary total hip arthroplasty?

We conclude that patients with prostheses with excellent long-term clinical results as validated by joint registries, routine follow-up of asymptomatic THA should be questioned and requires further investigation. Based on the work of this study, the current practice of routine follow-up of asymptomatic THA may be excessively costly and unnecessary, and a less resource-intensive review method may be more appropriate.
