The number of obese people increases every year, along with the number of operations to replace artificial joints due to the large influence of excess weight on the frequency of osteoarthritis. At radical interventions both quality of life and functional possibilities of patients change. In the Russian literature, the data on the long-term effectiveness of endoprosthetics in patients with obesity after are very limited. In this regard, the evaluation of functional results after total hip replacement was performed at a period of 12 months in such an ambiguous group of patients. The uncontrolled weight of the patient’s body after arthroplasty leads to a worsening of the functional results. Targeted and sustained rehabilitation strategies in the postoperative period, including physical exercises, psychological components and behavioral modifications can be very effective and useful.

Key words: obesity, arthroplasty of the hip joint, functional results.
