A member asked:
Is it safe to postpone hip replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hip replacement is elective surgery. All the stars should be well aligned before proceeding. The only risk in postponement is falling from pain from the hip. Use a walker, if needed, in the meantime to prevent falls.
