Abstract:
Hip arthroplasty (total hip replacement) is a common orthopaedic procedure that can greatly improve patients' quality of life. This article discusses the pathophysiology of hip dysfunction, the assessment and pre-operative screening of patients with hip pain, and some of the post-operative nursing considerations following hip arthroplasty.
