Total hip replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure to replace a damaged or worn out hip joint with a prosthetic implant. This procedure is often recommended for individuals experiencing severe hip pain and limited mobility due to conditions such as osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. THR involves removing the damaged bone and cartilage and replacing them with artificial components. The goal of THR is to relieve pain, improve function, and enhance mobility. Post-surgery, physical therapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in the recovery process to ensure optimal outcomes.
