A member asked:
Can anyone give run down on post-op recovery from hip replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
3+ months: Total recovery can take up to 1 year, but most of the recovery is accomplished by 3 months post-op. It usually involves 2-3 days in the hospital, early mobilization with full weight-bearing, driving within 6 wks, back to work on average 2 months after surgery.
