After Surgery

Hip replacement results vary with each patient. Each individual recovers differently, depending on existing medical conditions, age, weight, progression of degenerative diseased hip, etc. However, most people who undergo hip replacement surgery find that they can walk, sit, get in and out of cars, and sleep better without pain, or assistance within several weeks. And, those patients who are treated using Wright’s minimally-invasive procedure when having a total hip replaced, are often able to perform all these same activities within days to weeks, instead of weeks to months.

This section of our website discuses prevention of infection, what to expect when returning home, including options for aids to assist, best sitting and standing positions, and intimacy after surgery.

Life is to be enjoyed, so it’s critical that you follow doctor’s orders for best results. Go ahead - take back your active life.
