Brief summary: The goals of this study are to develop and test an educational intervention to address patients' expectations of long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty.

Detailed description: The first goal of this study is to develop an educational intervention to address patients' expectations of long-term outcomes of total hip arthroplasty. The intervention will be structured according to the expectations listed in the Hospital for Special Surgery Total Hip Replacement Expectations Survey. The second goal is to test the intervention in a randomized trial. An additional goal is to compare patients' self-reported hip symptoms with radiographic findings.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Patients will be eligible for this study if they are 55 years of age or older and are scheduled for primary total hip arthroplasty at the Hospital for Special Surgery.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients will be excluded from this study for the following reasons: if they are not fluent in English; if they are not going to attend the preoperative hip replacement class; if they are unable to complete the surveys; if they refuse to participate.

Primary outcomes:
measure: The primary outcome is the within-patient change between pre and post program scores measured by the Hospital for Special Surgery Total Hip Replacement Expectations Survey.
Secondary outcomes:
measure: The secondary outcome is to compare patient-reported symptoms with radiographic ratings of disease activity.
measure: The secondary outcome is to assess if patients' expectations after the class coincide with orthopedic surgeons expectations.
