Hip Replacement

In certain cases of hip osteoarthritis and femur fractures, a total hip replacement becomes the necessary course of action. This surgical procedure involves replacing both the femoral head and neck as well as the acetabulum. Post-surgery, you will undergo physical therapy during your hospital stay. Recent studies indicate that patients can achieve notable strength gains and enhance their balance abilities through additional outpatient physical therapy.
