Hip and pelvis
Rehabilitation after arthroplasty, revision surgery, labral and tendon repairs, and selected bone procedures.
Protocols and individual care
The individual case, the individual patient, the individual surgeon. The rehabilitation plan should reflect what was actually performed during surgery, rather than its name alone. Tissue condition, bone quality, the stability achieved and concomitant procedures determine the pace of progression.
Missing surgical details do not justify independently accelerating rehabilitation or disregarding weight-bearing restrictions. The operative report and the orthopaedic surgeon’s individual instructions remain the reference.
Available protocols
This section brings together material on common hip and pelvic operations. Specific recommendations may differ even when the procedure has the same name.
- Primary total hip arthroplasty — posterior approach
- Primary total hip arthroplasty — anterior approach
- Dual-mobility total hip arthroplasty — accelerated rehabilitation pathway
- Hip arthroscopy for FAIS with cam morphology — femoroplasty ± labral repair
- Gluteal tendon repair — gluteus medius ± minimus
- Intertrochanteric femoral fracture — Gamma nail fixation
- Femoral neck fracture — cannulated screw fixation
- Revision total hip arthroplasty — rehabilitation
Educational material for professionals. It does not replace individual clinical assessment or the operating surgeon’s instructions.
