Depression is a common co-morbidity in Total Hip Arthroplasty (THA). Chronic pain and depression influence one another. Postoperative outcomes and satisfaction rates are affected by depression. The aim of the study was to determine the impact of pre-operative depression on patient functional outcomes and satisfaction rates after THA. A secondary objective was to assess potential change in the incidence of depression at mid-term post-operative follow-up.Introduction
