  ABSTRACT: This retrospective descriptive study reports the activity and indications for primary total hip arthroplasty (THA) over a 20-month period in a newly established non-university hospital in Touba, Senegal. Among the 70 primary THAs included, femoral neck fractures and primary osteoarthritis were the main indications, with traumatic etiologies and their sequelae accounting for more than half of the cases. The authors believe that decentralized THA management is feasible with appropriate staff, infrastructure, and implants.
