Abstract
Total hip arthroplasty (THA) is a common orthopedic procedure aimed at improving quality of life for patients with severe hip pathology. This study assesses the effectiveness of THA in terms of functional outcomes, pain management, and range of motion (ROM) improvement. A cohort of 65 patients undergoing primary THA at Mamata Academy of Medical Sciences was evaluated. Outcome measures included Harris Hip Score (HHS) Oxford Hip Score (OHS) patient‐reported pain levels (using the Visual Analog Scale) and ROM (assessed through Goniometer measurements). Data were collected preoperatively and at 1, 3, 6 and 12 months postoperatively. Postoperative assessments showed significant improvements in HHS and OHS, indicating enhanced hip functionality and reduced pain. Pain levels decreased consistently over 12 months. ROM in flexion, extension, abduction and adduction also improved substantially. These findings align with existing literature, highlighting the efficacy of THA in improving patient’s quality of life. The study demonstrates that THA significantly improves functional outcomes, reduces pain and enhances ROM in patients. These results support the continued use of THA as an effective treatment for hip pathologies. However, further research with larger sample sizes and longer follow‐up is recommended for more comprehensive insights.
