Changes in Sexual Health After Hip Replacement for Stiff Hips and Partners

Supplementary file 1 contains survey data from a retrospective study on sexual activity changes following total hip arthroplasty (THA). The dataset includes responses from 48 heterosexual patients with stiff hips and their partners, assessing sexual satisfaction, frequency, quality of life, and dyadic relationships pre- and post-operatively. The data was published by Xiaojin Wu on figshare in March 2026 under a CC-BY-4.0 license.

Use Cases

• Analyze the relationship between hip mobility restoration and sexual satisfaction based on VAS and Harris Scores.
• Model the time to resume sexual activity post-surgery based on patient gender and reported factors like pain and fear.
• Investigate the correlation between surgical outcomes and dyadic relationship improvements mentioned in the survey results.
• Study the demand for and lack of perioperative sexual health counseling among THA patients.

Strengths

• Includes data from 48 patient-partner dyads, providing paired perspectives.
• Reports specific statistical improvements (p < 0.001) in clinical scores (VAS, Harris, ROM) and sexual satisfaction (24% pre-op to 82% post-op).
• Captures detailed factors limiting sexual activity, such as restricted mobility, pain, and fear of prosthesis damage.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Data may reflect bias inherent to a single, retrospective study of 65 initially contacted participants.
