THR stands for Total Hip Replacement. This surgery is done to replace a damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant. Option B, Thyroid Hormone Receptor, refers to a protein found within cells that is responsible for binding thyroid hormones. Option C, Theoretical Risk, refers to the potential risk associated with a particular situation or activity. Lastly, option D, Thrombin Time, is a type of blood test that measures how long it takes for a person's blood to clot.
