How long does it take for a 70 year old to recover from a hip replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: How quickly someone recovers from a joint replacement usually depends on how functional and healthy they were before the operation. In general, a person with no functional impairments could be expected to be up and around with a walker within the week post op, and ambulating with a cane within the 4-6 weeks post op, .
