Abstract: Total hip replacement (THA) is one of the common surgeries that aims to improve patients' pain and functional abilities with end stage hip osteoarthritis. The aim of this study was to assess the role of pre and postoperative physiotherapy in this patients' category. Patients awaiting THA (n=45) from both genders were assigned at random to one of three equal study groups. First is pre- post group (PPG) where patients received both pre and postoperative physiotherapy. Second is post only group (POG where patient received only postoperative physical therapy. Third is control group, receiving usual care. Patients function was assessed using Harris hip score (HHS) at 6 weeks, 1-day preoperatively, 3, 6 months then 1-year postoperatively. Results showed improved HHS in through all evaluations in PPG patients, while it improved over all postoperative evaluations in POG and control patients. Groups.......
