About Hip OA Pre-THR
Understanding Hip OA Pre-THR
Hip osteoarthritis (OA) is a common, progressive condition where the cartilage cushioning your hip joint wears away. This leads to bone-on-bone friction, causing pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. "Pre-THR" means you're experiencing these symptoms, but your doctor hasn't yet recommended or you're not yet ready for a total hip replacement (THR) surgery. It's a stage where managing symptoms and preserving joint function are key, often delaying the need for more invasive procedures. Symptoms typically include groin pain, stiffness after rest, limited range of motion, and a grinding sensation during movement. These can significantly affect daily activities like walking, climbing stairs, and even sleeping.
