6 Months: It takes 3 to 6 months to recover from hip replacement surgery. If you have long standing arthritis you will have immediate pain relief of your arthritis but incision pain and muscle weakness will take longer to resolve.

6-12 weeks: Most patients are about 90% recovered by 6 weeks after primary tha. At this time most patients are walking, driving, and getting around quite well with little or no pain. The soft tissue healing goes on for 3-6 months so there may be ongoing improvement in function over that time.

3 months: The arthritis pain is gone immediately, but it takes about 6 weeks to feel better than you did before surgery. Three months to return to all normal activities. I tell patients that it will be a year before you reach maximal improvement.
