Dr. Mohammad Ali Hatmian-HIP REPLACEMENT

Install a raised toilet seat. Secure handrails in stairways. Provide stable armchairs with firm cushions that allow knees to remain lower than hips. Position furniture to allow for open walkways, and remove any electrical cords or throw rugs that might be in the way.

What are some precautions for self-care after hip replacement surgery (posterior)? Keep your toes pointing forward or slightly out. Don't rotate your leg too far to the inside. Do not bend your hip more than 90 degrees.

Around three months after your hip operation, most things will go back to normal, and the pain goes away for most people. You need to look out for signs of complications and continue being careful with how you move your hip. After 6 to 12 months, the recovery is considered complete.

Generally, people are pretty far along by six weeks and mostly recovered by three months after surgery. Minor aches and pains may last for a while longer. Your recovery time will vary depending on whether you have a partial or full knee replacement. You will need to walk with a cane for at least a couple of weeks.

After hip replacement surgery, you will need a raised toilet seat on your toilet at home. This is to make sure that your knees are not higher than your hips when sitting. including the toilet seat. Your therapist will then tell you what size toilet seat you need.
