Risk of further surgery on the same or opposite side and mortality after primary total hip arthroplasty: A multi-state analysis of 133,654 patients from the Swedish Hip Arthroplasty Register.

ABSTRACT: Background and purpose - The hip-related timeline of patients following a total hip arthroplasty (THA) can vary.
