Follow the answer: After all hip replacement, a big pillow is applied between the legs. This is to keep the legs apart, and externally rotated, to prevent possible hip dislocation. As long as you are at bottom after a week . Is safe to have sex. Usually within six to eight weeks the capsule around the joint is healed and you can be in any position.
