Are Postoperative Hip Precautions Necessary After a Total Hip Arthroplasty Via the Posterior Approach: A Prospective Randomized Trial
The purpose of this study is to determine if hip precautions, which are instructions that
limit functional use of a hip replacement after surgery, affect the rate of dislocation in
the first six weeks after primary total hip replacement surgery. The impact of hip
precautions on a patient's return to activities of daily living and overall patient
satisfaction will also be investigated. The overall cost effectiveness of hip precautions
will be determined.

This study examines the necessity of postoperative hip precautions in patients after primary
total hip arthroplasty via the posterior approach. Precautions are instructions that limit
the functional use of the hip and are given for the first six weeks after surgery, with the
goal of preventing an instability event resulting in dislocation. The hip precautions that
will be investigated in this study are: no hip flexion past 90º, no crossing the legs, and no
twisting at the waist.
