38. What treatment is possible before a total hip replacement?

Symptomatic treatment exists of classic painkillers (e.g. paracetamol), NSAID (Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs), or even Glucosamine and Chondroitenesulfates and diminishing physical activities (be aware of diminishing bone quality when used for a long time). Treatment with hyaluronic acid is rarely used at our department.
