Hip

Question

What clinical outcomes are associated with preoperative and postoperative exercise training for hip joint replacement?

Findings

In this systematic review and meta-analysis including 32 studies, there was very low– to moderate-quality evidence relevant to preoperative and postoperative supervised exercise interventions. Compared with usual care or no or minimal intervention, supervised exercise interventions were not associated with improved self-reported physical function.

Meaning

These findings suggest that supervised preoperative and postoperative exercise interventions was probably not necessary for patients with total hip replacement.
