2. General Anatomical Overview
The hip is one of your body's largest weight-bearing joints.
Consists of two main parts:
a ball (femoral head) that fits into a rounded socket (acetabulum) in your pelvis.
Ligaments connect the ball to the socket and provide stability to the joint
The bone surfaces of your ball and socket have a smooth durable cover of articular cartilage that cushions the ends of the bones and enables them to move easily.

3. Hip Anatomy

4. More…
All remaining surfaces of the hip joint are covered by a thin, smooth tissue called synovial membrane. In a healthy hip, this membrane makes a small amount of fluid that lubricates and almost eliminates friction in your hip joint.
Normally, all of these parts of your hip work in harmony, allowing you to move easily and without pain.

5. Total Hip Replacement
A prosthetic hip that is implanted in a similar fashion as is done in people.  It replaces the painful arthritic joint. 
The modular prosthetic hip replacement system used today has three components – the femoral stem, the femoral head, and the acetabulum.  Each component has multiple sizes which allow for a custom fit. 
The components are made of cobalt chrome stainless steel and ultra high molecular weight polyethylene. Cementless and cemented prosthesis systems are available.

6. Statistical Overview First performed in 1960.
Since then, improvements in joint replacement surgical techniques and technology have greatly increased the effectiveness of this surgery.

9. Subjective Assessment
Pain localized in hip region
Exaggerated gait pattern (limp)
Increase in pain when weight barring
Reduction in the degree of ROM
As the degeneration of the joint worsen, individual may be awakened at night with pain
Bone spurs may occur

10. Objective Assessment
Gait pattern – Adaptive walking pattern that reduces pressure on the affected side.
Muscle atrophy – Muscles in affected area are not used as much due to pain, therefore, use-it-or-lose-it applies.
Active Range Of Motion – Limited ROM, stiffness
Passive ROM – End feels causes severe pain
X-ray – clear degeneration of the bone
MRI – determines underlying complications (e.g.avascular necrosis)

11. Common Causes of Hip Pain and Loss of Hip Mobility
Osteoarthritis
Usually occurs after age 50 and often in an individual with a family history of arthritis. In this form of the disease, the articular cartilage cushioning the bones of the hip wears away. The bones then rub against each other, causing hip pain and stiffness.

12. Causes (cont’d)
Rheumatoid Arthritis
a disease in which the synovial membrane becomes inflamed, produces excessive synovial fluid, and damages the articular cartilage, leading to pain and stiffness.

13. Causes (cont’d) Traumatic Arthritis
Can leads to a serious hip injury or fracture. A hip fracture can cause a condition known as avascular necrosis. The articular cartilage becomes damaged and, over time, causes hip pain and stiffness.

14. Osteoarthritis
Fracture

15. Operation Removing the Femoral Head
Once the hip joint is entered, the femoral head is dislocated from the acetabulum.
Then the femoral head is removed by cutting through the femoral neck with a power saw.

16. Reaming the Acetabulum
After the femoral head is removed, the cartilage is removed from the acetabulum using a power drill and a special reamer.
The reamer forms the bone in a hemispherical shape to exactly fit the metal shell of the acetabular component.

17. Inserting the Acetabular Component
A trial component, which is an exact duplicate of your hip prosthesis, is used to ensure that the joint will be the right size and fit for the client.
Once the right size and shape is determined for the acetabulum, the acetabular component is inserted into place.

18. Preparing the Femoral Canal
To begin replacing the femoral head, special rasps are used to shape and scrape out femur to the exact shape of the metal stem of the femoral component.
Once again, a trial component is used to ensure the correct size and shape. The surgeon will also test the movement of the hip joint.

19. Inserting Femoral Stem
Once the size and shape of the canal exactly fit the femoral component, the stem is inserted into the femoral canal.

20. Attaching the Femoral Head
The metal ball that replaces the femoral head is attached to the femoral stem.

21. The Completed Hip Replacement
Client now has a new weight bearing surface to replace the affected hip.
Before the incision is closed, an x-ray is made to ensure new prosthesis is in the correct position.

22. Treatment by Kinesiologist -Early Postoperative Exercises-
Regular exercises to restore your normal hip motion and strength and a gradual return to everyday activties.
Exercise 20 to 30 minutes a day divided into 3 sections.
Increase circulation to the legs and feet to prevent blood clots
Strengthen muscles
Improve hip movement

23. Exercise Prescription Early Stage

24. Kinesiologist’s Role (cont)
The patient is released few days after the surgery
A list of Do’s and Don’ts
Hip is sore and weak
Start with light exercises
Ergonomics: Rearrange furniture in the house to make using crutches easier. Setup a ‘recovery centre’, a table where u put phone, remote control, radio, medication and other essential things that you need. It makes it more accessible.

25. Educate Clients - Do’s and Don’ts -
To avoid hip dislocation:
Using 2-3 pillows between your legs when sleeping (roll onto your ‘good side’
Not crossing your legs
Use chairs with armrest
Not bending forward past 90 degrees
Using a high-rise toilet seat if necessary
Avoid pronation the legs
To avoid stairs, sleep in the living room

26. Exercise Prescription - Later Stages -

27. Post-Surgery Complications
Thrombophlebitis
the blood in the large veins of the leg forms blood clots within the veins.
If the blood clots in the veins break apart they can travel to the lung.
Infection in the joint
Dislocation of the joint
Loosening of the joint
