A total right hip arthroplasty was performed using a cementless femoral stem and acetabular cup with a ceramic-on-polyethylene bearing surface. The procedure was uneventful, with good stability achieved. Haemostasis secured, and wound irrigated prior to closure. _Post-op instructions_: - Patient to remain non-weight-bearing on the right leg for 6 weeks, progressing to partial weight-bearing as tolerated thereafter. Regular physiotherapy sessions to commence post-operatively. Pain relief as prescribed (Paracetamol 1g QDS, Co-codamol 30/500 TDS PRN).
