Functional Capacity (FUNCAP27 Scale) in Hip Arthroplasty Patients: A Prospective Case Series

Prospective case series measuring functional capacity with the 27-item FUNCAP scale across the perioperative course of primary hip arthroplasty. Companion to the knee FUNCAP27 case series; identical instrument, distinct cohort.

Patients scheduled for primary hip arthroplasty at USBALO “Prof. Boycho Boychev” complete the FUNCAP27 functional-capacity questionnaire pre-operatively and at defined post-operative intervals. The case series mirrors the knee-arthroplasty FUNCAP27 cohort, enabling cross-procedure comparisons of self-reported function after lower-limb joint replacement.
