Pre & Post-Operative Hip Management

Hip

At The Injury Clinic, we understand that rehabilitation following an orthopaedic hip surgery may be daunting. Our team of physiotherapists and strengthening and conditioning coaches have an enormous magnitude of experience working with clients post hip surgery. We believe that a recipe based approach to post hip surgery rehabilitation is not optimal. Therefore, we will look to provide an individualised and specific treatment approach in order to maximise postoperative outcomes! 

Some common hip surgeries we treat at the clinic both preoperatively and postoperatively: 

  • Total hip replacement 
  • Partial hip replacement 
  • Hip labral reconstruction
  • Hip labral repair
  • Femoral Osteoplasty 
  • Periacetabular Osteotomy

Post-Op & Management

Following hip orthopaedic surgery, it is important to start rehabilitation as soon as possible. Postoperatively, our team will look to quickly and safely restore range of motion, build strength around the hip joint, and decrease pain and swelling. 

Throughout all stages of rehabilitation, our multidisciplinary team will evaluate accurate and objective outcome measures, which means we can track your progress along the journey.

VALD Force Plate & Hip Rehabilitation

 At The Injury Clinic, we will look to use advanced technology of the VALD force plates and handheld dynamometry. This ensures our team can make accurately informed decisions, and provide us with incredibly precise data when considering rehabilitation phases of returning to running or return to sports. 

Some common VALD measurements we would look to measure when guiding rehabilitation post orthopaedic hip surgery. 

  • Isometric hip internal/external rotation 
  • Isometric hip adduction/abduction
  • Isometric hip flexion 
  • Single/double leg isometric mid thigh pull
  • Run specific isometric hip push 
  • Single/double leg Countermovement Jump
