Abstract
Total hip replacement (THR) is a common orthopedic procedure that aims to relieve pain and improve function in patients with hip joint diseases. However, the impact of THR on functional outcomes and quality of life (QoL) remains a subject of investigation. To evaluate the functional outcome and quality of life in patients undergoing total hip replacement. This cross‐sectional study included 200 patients who had undergone THR. The study assessed functional outcomes using the Harris Hip Score (HHS) and quality of life using the Short Form Health Survey (SF‐36). Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, t‐tests and regression analysis. Preliminary findings suggest significant improvements in both functional outcomes and QoL post‐THR. The detailed analysis of the relationship between patient characteristics and post‐operative improvements will be discussed. This study underscores the efficacy of THR in enhancing functional capabilities and quality of life, highlighting its importance as a treatment modality for hip joint diseases.
