This technical article discusses biomechanical advancements in total hip arthroplasty (THA), from surgical techniques to functional recovery. Focusing on the evolution of surgical approaches, it highlights the use of robotics and artificial intelligence to enhance implant positioning precision and minimize misalignments. Advanced materials, such as high-density polyethylene, and innovative prosthesis designs were also discussed, emphasizing their contribution to prosthesis durability and functionality. Additionally, perioperative management strategies, including modern analgesic blocks and nutritional support, have improved postoperative recovery, while structured rehabilitation protocols are essential for restoring gait and joint biomechanics. Finally, long-term considerations regarding prosthesis survival and patients' quality of life were explored, reinforcing the importance of a multidisciplinary approach and cutting-edge technologies.
