Core Tip	Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is an effective treatment for advanced hip problems, but patient outcomes vary. Frailty is a key factor influencing these results. Preoperative factors are important for predicting post-operative recovery, underlining the need for comprehensive pre-operative assessments. Tools such as hospital frailty risk score and frailty deficit index show frailty is linked to adverse outcomes in THA, including higher readmission, longer stays, more costs, and greater mortality and complication risks. Understanding frailty’s impact on THA outcomes is crucial for better patient care, especially as hip disorders increase in the aging population.
