[Rehabilitation after total knee and hip arthroplasty].

The main purpose of total hip replacement is to relieve hip pain and recover the lost mobility of the joint. The postoperative functionality of the hip endoprosthesis is closely related to proper physiotherapy. A good range of motion, sufficient pain reduction and minimum disruption to the muscle tissues are conditions allowing the patients to perform individualized muscle strengthening exercises and to exercise the newly gained mobility, following practice sessions during the early postoperative period still in hospital.

Mid-term results of revision total hip arthroplasty using the oval-shaped uncemented Trč-Cingr cup.

Purpose: The aim of the present study was to introduce a novel oblong revision cup type TC for use in revision total hip arthroplasty (THA), and to evaluate mid-term results in terms of bone tissue remodelling in the immediate area of the implant.

Methods: The results of 31 patients that underwent revision THA between 2004 and 2008 are presented. The mean follow-up interval was 7.
