Trial Design

2Treatment groups
Experimental Treatment
Active Control
Group I: Unrestricted rehabilitationExperimental Treatment1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the treatment group will have no restrictions in their post-operative rehabilitation. They will weight bear on the operative joint as tolerated after surgery. They will be asked to participate in activity as their level of comfort permits and will have no positional restrictions while in bed or completing activities of daily living.
Group II: Standard rehabilitationActive Control1 Intervention
Patients randomized to the control group will be managed with "hip precautions" immediately following surgery. They will weight bear on the operative joint as tolerated after surgery. They will be managed as per usual protocol post total hip arthroplasty. They will be transferred from the operative table with an abduction pillow between their legs and will be asked to keep this pillow between their legs while resting in bed and during sleep throughout their course in hospital. During physiotherapy treatments they will not flex the operative hip beyond 90 degrees, internally or externally rotate the operative hip more than 45 degrees, or actively adduct the operative hip past neutral.
