What Does THR Stand For?
THR stands for Total Hip Replacement
THR, or Total Hip Replacement, is a surgical procedure in which a damaged or diseased hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial implant. This procedure is commonly performed to relieve pain and restore function in individuals suffering from conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures. THR aims to improve mobility and enhance the quality of life for patients, allowing them to return to daily activities with reduced discomfort.
