Clinical Outcomes Following Total Hip Replacement

Abstract

Introduction: The Harris Hip Score (HHS) is a tool for evaluating the functional outcome of complete hip replacement patients (THR). The goal of this study was to use the Modified Harris hip score to assess the clinical and functional outcomes following total hip replacement. Methods: The research comprised patients who were admitted to our ward for THR between June 1st, 2021 and May 1st, 2022. All patients had a thorough medical history and physical examination. The Modified HHS was used to score the patients. Details from the pre-operative and post-operative periods were recorded. Results: In this research, we investigated at 28 hip joints. Preoperatively, the average modified HHS was 27, rising to 59 at six weeks and 85 at six months. The difference between before and after scores was statistically significant. Modified HHS performed well in individuals who began partial and full weight bearing early. Conclusions: Post-operatively, patients who had early partial and complete weight bearing reported good modified HHS. For measuring patients' post-THR functional status, we propose using a modified HHS.
