A member asked:
I'm curious as to how long is the hospital stay for a hip replacement and how long will the replacement last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
1-3 days and 20-30yr: Most patient stay in the hospital from 1-3 days, depending on the type of hip replacement, approach used, and any other complicating issues. Most hip replacement reliably last 20-30 years, but some can last longer.
