Clinical Trial Summary

The goals of this study are to develop and test an educational intervention to address patients' expectations of long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty.

Description:

The first goal of this study is to develop an educational intervention to address patients' expectations of long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty. The intervention will be structured according to the expectations listed in the Hospital for Special Surgery Total Hip Replacement Expectations Survey. The second goal is to test the intervention in a randomized trial. An additional goal is to compare patients' self-reported hip symptoms with radiographic findings.
