Hospital records of 200 patients were analysed who were divided into 2 groups. Group A consistedof 79 rural patients: 39 males (49.4%) and 40 females (50.6%), mean age 66.09 (±9.48), mean BMI – 27.26 (±4.47). Group Bconsisted of 121 urban patients: 51 males (42.1%), and 70 females (57.9%), mean age 67.74 (±8.88); mean BMI – 27.33 (±4.21).Results. There were no differences observed regarding hospitalization times, but statistically significant differences werenoted concerning the causes of osteoarthritis in both the rural and urban patients. No statistically significant differenceswere found between the types of prosthetic implants.Conclusions. 1) There are no differences between rural and urban patients who received surgical treatment for hiposteoarthritis, although more patients operated upon were urban patients. 2) The degree of hip degeneration was greaterin rural patients
