TLDR
The length of wait for elective total hip arthroplasty is not associated with postoperative HRQOL and mobility, however, patients who undergo the procedure within 6 months after referral have greater disability at referral, and realize greater gains in HRQol and mobility after surgery, than patients waiting more than 6 months.Citations
