TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT: CAUSES, SYMPTOMS AND TREATMENTS
Most people who have total hip arthroplasty are aged between 50 and 80. These surgeries are usually performed for hip arthritis (coxarthrosis). Arthritis is a disease that breaks down cartilage (the cushion between the bones). Without cartilage, the bones rub against each other, which can cause severe pain.
In some severe cases, rehabilitation does not relieve the pain, and surgery may be the only option. Then you end up performing total hip arthroplasty. But in our experience with many patients, surgery accounts for only 50% of total recovery. You need to follow rehabilitation immediately after surgery to have full benefits following it. Patients who have neglected the rehabilitation step mostly suffer from pain and limp while walking.
WHAT HAPPENS AFTER ARTHROPLASTY?
You will probably stay in hospital for four to six days and may have to stay in bed. Physiotherapy usually starts the day after surgery, and within a few days you may be able to walk with a frame, crutches or a cane. You will continue physical therapy for several weeks or months after surgery.
A physiotherapist will help you with exercises to regain your speed. Physical activity and exercise should be a regular part of your daily activities to regain joint and muscle use. Your physiotherapist will recommend strengthening and mobility exercises. As therapy progresses, you will usually increase the weight you put on your leg until you can walk without assistance.
EARLY POST-OPERATIVE EXERCISE
Certain exercises will help increase circulation to the legs, which is important for preventing blood clots. They will also help strengthen your muscles and improve your hip movement.
Start exercising as soon as you are able. You can start them in the recovery room soon after surgery. You may feel uncomfortable at first, but these exercises will help speed up your recovery and effectively reduce your post-operative pain.
ADVANCED EXERCISES AND ACTIVITIES
Pain from hip problems before surgery and pain and swelling after surgery will weaken your hip muscles. A full recovery will take many months. It is important to follow the rehabilitation program in discipline. The exercise program will include strength, balance and mobility exercises. We will guide you in modifying your daily life and also during your return to work. We will be close to you to adapt the new activities in your life.
