Hip Replacement

Audbro wrote:In Scotland the wait is 18 weeks after seeing the consultant. With around 3 days hospitalisation, couple district nurse visit at home for wound care. Exercises to be undertaken from day one to promote recovery. In general requiring support at home for around 4 weeks post surgery. Outpatient appointment at 6 weeks to assess recovery, movement , joint etc. Can usually fly after 6 weeks. I would suggest back to general good fitness at around 12 weeks if no complications. My advice would be make sure you undertake the exercises from day one and don’t miss them out. They are crucial to a full recovery.
