You are about 80% of what we expect long term at 6 months. However most patients can tell the difference in their pain after a joint replacement when the use it in the first 24hrs after surgery.
4-6 weeks depending of the approach but you will be able to walk on it the next day
Recovering process after hip replacement is 3 to 6 months depending on patient’s response to treatment. Some patients take 9-12 months.
3 - 6 months
Three months.
