INTRODUCTION: Are you or a loved one suffering from chronic hip pain, stiffness, or limited mobility? Total Hip Replacement (THR) might be the key to restoring your quality of life. At Physio360, we specialise in post-surgical rehabilitation for hip replacement patients, ensuring faster recovery, reduced complications, and improved joint function.


What is Total Hip Replacement?

Total Hip Replacement (THR) is a surgical procedure in which the damaged bone and cartilage of the hip joint are removed and replaced with artificial implants. It is typically performed when the hip joint is severely damaged due to:

  • Osteoarthritis

  • Rheumatoid arthritis

  • Avascular necrosis

  • Fractures

  • Congenital hip dysplasia


Signs You Might Need a Hip Replacement.

  • Persistent hip or groin pain

  • Pain that worsens with activity or while resting

  • Difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or standing for long periods

  • Reduced range of motion or hip stiffness

  • Failure of conservative treatments like physiotherapy or medication


The Procedure – What Happens During THR?

In Total Hip Replacement surgery:

  1. The damaged femoral head is removed and replaced with a metal stem inserted into the thigh bone.

  2. A ceramic or metal ball is placed on top of the stem.

  3. The damaged socket (acetabulum) is removed and replaced with a metal cup.

  4. A plastic, ceramic, or metal spacer is placed between the new ball and socket for smooth movement.
