Total hip arthroplasty consists of a complex surgical procedure that aims to restore the individual's joint capacity and mobility, in addition to causing pain. It is commonly recommended when there is an aggravated degenerative process in the joint, in addition to constant pain, caused even in a resting state. The complexity of the intervention lies in the fact that it requires well-trained professionals to perform the procedure, in addition to presenting some possible risks of complications for the patient's physical integrity and health. It is not by chance that there is a multidisciplinary team involved in the stages that comprise intervention, care and rehabilitation. Among the professionals is the nurse, who has a series of duties aimed at patient care. Based on these considerations, the project aims to discuss the importance of nursing in the care of patients undergoing total hip arthroplasty. For this, the work proposes to approach the relevant anatomy of the hip and the general aspects of arthrosis, a disease that, when developing, causes injuries to the joint. In addition, we will seek to discuss the total hip arthroplasty and identify the importance of the nurse in the care process of the patient undergoing this intervention. The project will consist of a bibliographic review, with selection of articles and studies in general directly in some databases, such as the Electronic Scientific Online Library (Scielo) and Virtual Health Library (VHL).
