Protocol for physio post Total Hip Replacement (THR)

[sdkashif]

Personally as a physio I would not like to follow any unauthentic protocols for management of THR. And I don't think that any good surgeon have any good belief in full weight bearing status in initial 6 weeks postoperatively following THR in case of Cementless implantation. I wonder if some sugeon have such advice. Please, mention some good references for that. Kindly provide some information, link or evidence based findings or any good reference for Treadmill use following THR. I would like to read if any.

most patients having an uncemented THR in the uk will be FWB from day 1. most do well without physio anyway and so i dont know what all the fuss is about.

If they are advising the full weight bearing for THR postoperatively, then it is most probably for the cemented implantation. I would not give further comments regarding that as I have already provided the detail information and some authentic references. You may have a look over that.

FWB in Uncemented THR from day 1 will definitely be hazardous for the patient, it will definitely break the prosthesis..i think u r confused with Cemented & Uncemented THR
