The patient who has undergone hip replacement surgery needs a
decent time to recover completely and to be able to carry on day-to-day simple
physical activities properly. The duration of the recovery can vary from person
to person and the damage he/she had on the hip bone. It also varies from the
care that a person has taken after the hip replacement process.
There are certain activities
that patient will be restricted to do. It goes step by step. In the initial
weeks the patient will be allowed to do simple activities like going for a walk
and performing simple exercises. As the body healing progresses, he/she can
take the physical activities a notch higher. He can start going for long traveling and other different exercises, as suggested by the doctor and the
physiotherapist.
The orthopedic surgeon will
advise the patient to follow certain dos and don’ts after hip replacement. It
will put a patient on the road to fast recovery and allow the replacement to
last for longer time.
