Does my hip rod need changing?
Placing a rod in (I presume your femur) is for the purpose of treating a fracture. Removal may be considered once the fracture has healed and usually one year later dependent on the age of the patient. After fifteen years, it may be a difficult task to remove the rod and in my opinion should be left alone unless there's a reason to the contrary. In any event, there is no indication for the removal in order to exchange it with a new rod. A rod may also be inserted as a prophylactic measure when dealing with a malignancy present in the bone in anticipation of a possible impending fracture, and in this case, the rod should not be removed.

What's the usual recovery time after hip surgery?
After hip surgery (I presume replacement), in my experience, patients are out of bed and walking with assistance within one or two days. With post-surgery vigorous physical rehabilitation, one can expect a resumption of full mobility within a month or two and a return to full pre-op activities within six months. Yet all depends on how realistic the expectations and, of course, it varies with the individual (age, comorbidities, and stamina). READ MORE

Those booklets are provided by your surgeon). Follow this with the discussion about all pertinent risks and benefits to include what to anticipate in the immediate period after surgery as well long-term and future need for a revision.
