Total Hip Replacement

A total hip replacement is a surgery that is performed for severe arthritis of the hip or to help a hip fracture. During this operation, part or all of the hip joint is replaced to help relieve pain, improve range of motion, and increase safety.

A physical therapist will play a vital role in ensuring you gain back function.

Treatments May Include:

• Patient education regarding precautions
• learning to walk with an assistive device
• Strengthening exercises
• Range of motion exercises
• Development of a home exercise program

At Apex, your physical therapist will assess your body after surgery and work with you to create a treatment plan that best suits your individual goals and needs.
