Introduction: In recent years, the number of total hip arthroplasty (THA) procedures has increased globally, alongside advancements in materials, surgical techniques, and rehabilitation protocols. The introduction of approaches such as direct anterior, lateral, and posterior, combined with minimally invasive and computer-assisted surgery, has posed new challenges for postoperative physiotherapy. The aim of this study is to analyze the most recent evidence on rehabilitation recommendations related to modern surgical approaches in hip arthroplasty. Materials and Methods: A literature review was conducted on Medline (PubMed) using MeSH terms related to “Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip,” “Rehabilitation,” “Physical Therapy Modalities,” and “Exercise Therapy.” Studies published between 2020 and 2025 were included, comprising RCTs, systematic reviews, or meta-analyses, in accordance with PICOS criteria. Out of an initial selection of 78 studies, 19 were analyzed in detail. Results: Although modern surgical approaches reduce tissue trauma and accelerate recovery, they require early, targeted, and individualized rehabilitation. Emerging interventions include telerehabilitation, progressive resistance training (PRT), early mobilization, dual-task training, and traditional pre- and postoperative exercises, with outcomes assessed in terms of pain, quality of life, recovery and discharge, functional performance, continuity of care, and patient confidence. Conclusions: Surgical evolution has redefined the rehabilitation management of THA patients. Evidence supports integrated, digitalized, and personalized physiotherapy approaches, with a focus on early functional recovery and continuity of care. Further studies are needed to standardize rehabilitation protocols according to different surgical approaches.
Introduzione: Negli ultimi anni il numero di interventi di protesi totale d’anca è aumentato globalmente, parallelamente all’evoluzione di materiali, tecniche chirurgiche e protocolli riabilitativi. L’introduzione di approcci come l’anteriore diretto, il laterale e il posteriore, insieme a tecniche mininvasive e chirurgia assistita da computer, ha posto nuove sfide per la fisioterapia post operatoria. Lo scopo di questo lavoro è analizzare le evidenze più recenti sulle indicazioni riabilitative correlate ai moderni approcci chirurgici nella protesi d’anca. Materiali e Metodi: È stata condotta una revisione della letteratura su Medline (PubMed) utilizzando termini MeSH relativi a “Arthroplasty, Replacement, Hip”, “Rehabilitation”, “Physical Therapy Modalities” ed “Exercise Therapy”. Sono stati inclusi studi pubblicati tra il 2020 e il 2025, di tipo RCT, revisione sistematica o metanalisi, conformi ai criteri PICOS. Dalla selezione di 78 studi iniziali, 19 sono stati analizzati in dettaglio. Risultati: I nuovi approcci chirurgici, pur riducendo il trauma tissutale e accelerando il recupero, richiedono una riabilitazione precoce, mirata e personalizzata. Tra gli interventi che emergono: teleriabilitazione, allenamento di resistenza progressiva (PRT), riabilitazione precoce, dual task training, esercizi tradizionali pre- e post-operatori, con outcome specifici su dolore, qualità di vita, recupero e dimissione, performance funzionali, continuità terapeutica e fiducia del paziente. Conclusioni: L’evoluzione chirurgica ha ridefinito la gestione riabilitativa del paziente con THA. Le evidenze supportano approcci fisioterapici integrati, digitalizzati e personalizzati, con focus sul recupero funzionale precoce e sulla continuità terapeutica. Sono necessari ulteriori studi per standardizzare i protocolli riabilitativi in relazione ai diversi approcci chirurgici.

The aim of this study is to analyze the most recent evidence on rehabilitation recommendations related to modern surgical approaches in hip arthroplasty.
