This study examines the necessity of postoperative hip precautions in patients after primary total hip arthroplasty via the posterior approach. Precautions are instructions that limit the functional use of the hip and are given for the first six weeks after surgery, with the goal of preventing an instability event resulting in dislocation. The hip precautions that will be investigated in this study are: no hip flexion past 90º, no crossing the legs, and no twisting at the waist.
