Is it possible for you to wear high heels after hip replacement?

Dr. Steven Sheskier answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Foot and Ankle Surgery

Yes: Once you have recovered your strength and balance in the hip/leg heels are not a problem . Start low and work your way higher is a good rule of thumb. Best to ask your surgeon if it is advisable and when.
