Course Description
This advanced continuing education course provides a comprehensive, evidence-based update on total hip arthroplasty (THA) for rehabilitation and nursing professionals. Participants will learn the latest findings from 2022–2025 systematic reviews, clinical practice guidelines, and randomized trials that are reshaping perioperative management and postoperative rehabilitation.
The course equips clinicians with practical, research-backed strategies for optimizing prehabilitation, ERAS pathways, pain control, telerehabilitation, and exercise progression. Special emphasis is placed on risk‑stratified care, rapid‑recovery protocols, and outcome optimization for complex and high‑risk populations.
By the end, learners will be able to confidently integrate current best evidence into patient-centered decision‑making across the entire continuum of THA care. This course is ideal for professionals seeking to elevate clinical outcomes, implement modern protocols, and remain at the forefront of contemporary orthopedics.

- Identify evidence-based prehabilitation strategies that reduce early postoperative complications following total hip arthroplasty.
- Describe the key components of Enhanced Recovery After Surgery protocols for perioperative management of total hip arthroplasty.
- Compare pharmacological venous thromboembolism prophylaxis options based on patient risk stratification after total hip arthroplasty.
