Description:

Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a frequently performed orthopedic surgical procedure and the treatment of choice for those patients with intractable pain and limited function arising from arthropathy of the hip joint. The majority of THAs performed are for individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) in the hip, however THA is also common for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, for patients with degenerative changes which have occurred as a result of congenital dislocation of the hip, or after complications following hip fractures. Recovery of optimal function following THA depends on both a successful surgical course and the restoration of optimal range of motion, strength, and neuromuscular control, which will allow a patient return to full functional abilities.

Goals & Objectives:

Course Goals:

This intermediate-level course is relevant for physical therapists (PTs) and physical therapist assistants (PTAs) who are new to the field of orthopedics as well as more seasoned counterparts. With many changes in the total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedure, such as the surgical approach used, variations in different materials for the prostheses, and updates in the fixation methods used, it is important that the clinician be aware of these changes when working with patients who have undergone THA. Additionally, clinicians should be aware of the growing body of research supporting the role of PT both pre- and postoperatively with this growing population.

Professional Objectives:

  1. Identify the relevant anatomy of the hip and its significance in total hip arthroplasty (THA).
  2. Describe the differential diagnosis of other hip conditions and indications for THA surgery.
  3. Describe the clinically relevant details of THA surgery, including different approaches and complications.
  4. Identify evidence-based approaches to preoperative physical therapy.
  5. Discuss evidence-based postoperative physical therapy examination, interventions, and appropriate outcomes measures.
