The article presents a study which aims to determine the efficiency of a rehabilitation programme over standard physiotherapy practices in the improvement of function in metal-on-metal hip resurfacing arthroplasty patients. It says that the participants completed other measures such as the Hip disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Score (HOOS), quality of life, and the EuroQol (EQ-5D-3L). It concludes that a tailored physiotherapy approach improves functional outcomes in the patients.
