SD Sexual Difficulty or Sexual Dysfunction, SF Sexual Function, SA Sexually Active patients

aOnly satisfied patients (with results THR)

bPatients were asked to choose five most adversely affected activities (n33)

cRating the direction of change:

Positive effect: + (5–35 %); ++ (35–70 %); +++ (>70 %)

Negative effect: - (−5 to−35 %); -- (−35 to−70 %); --- (>−70 %)

Unchanged: +/- (between 0 and 5 %; between 0 and - 5 %)

dIncrease 2.4 times: 2.4/3.3 (.73)

eOnly SA patients were included

fOHS = Oxford Hip Score: scale 0–6 (score 0 means “due to other reason than hip”; this was not included in statistics)

Thus, 1 = no sex life able due to hip; 6 never disabled by the hip)
