A member asked:
How long after a full hip replacement should the leg / knee swelling last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-2 weeks for post o: Be careful here because residual lower extremity swelling could also indicate a blood clot which is not uncommon with hip arthroplasty. It should be checked.
