Key Points

This study aims to examine the effect of hip precautions on dislocation rates following total hip arthroplasty.
Conducted a prospective, randomized study with 1,133 patients undergoing posterior approach primary THA
Participants were divided into a restricted motion group and an unrestricted motion group
Follow-up ranged from 0.1 to 8.6 years with a minimum of six weeks for analysis.
Ten dislocations (0.88%) noted, with six in the restricted group and four in the unrestricted group (OR: 0.60; 95% CI: 0.17 to 2.17; P = 0.547)
Higher Hip Disability and Osteoarthritis Outcome Scores in unrestricted group at six weeks and three to six months (P = 0.028 and P = 0.015 respectively)
No significant differences in 90-day complications or surgical revisions (all P > 0.209)
