Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

1 or 2 days: Most patients spend 1 or 2 nights in the hospital after total hip replacement. They may do several sessions of physical therapy, receive medications for pain and to reduce the risk of blood clots while in the hospital. They are usually independent in transferring from bed to chair, walking with aids, and doing exercises at that time.
