Option 3 : Flexion

Concept:

Specific precautions for total hip patients include restrictions on the position of the hip after surgery. The hip should not be flexed

Total hip arthroplasty post-operative instructions and precautions

Specific precautions for total hip patients include restrictions on the position which is very important for the hip after surgery.
The hip should not be flexed, adducted, and internally rotated because dislocation may occur.
Adduction can be performed when the leg crosses the midline of the body towards the other leg.
Internal rotation is when you try to move your foot to the side while the knee stays next to the other knee.
