Objective: To outline and analyze the epidemiological profile of patients undergoing hip arthroplasty, the physiotherapy procedures performed, and their impact on quality of life, aiming to minimize and prevent functional deficits by improving physiotherapy interventions. Method: Research conducted in the PubMed database, and analysis of medical records from the last four years at the University Hospital of Londrina. Results: Mainly women, mean age 60 years, with hip osteoarthritis, overweight, and systemic arterial hypertension. Uncemented arthroplasty with the posterolateral approach was the most frequently performed, with few complications and deaths. Physiotherapy procedures were primarily active. Hospitalization lasted an average of three days, and full weight-bearing on the affected limb lasted approximately 60 days. Conclusion: Analyzing this epidemiological profile and how these patients are treated by physiotherapy is extremely important for developing new protocols.
