FAQs
When Can I Walk?
All going well, you will be up and walking the next morning. If necessary, you can stand soon after surgery, for example to pass urine. A catheter is occasionally required.
Leg Length?
Any shortening due to osteoarthritis is corrected and every effort is made to equalise leg lengths and at the same time allow correct tensioning of the muscles that protect and move the hip joint.
How Long Will My Hip Replacement Last?
Current research suggests that using modern components, fewer and fewer components will need revision because of wear and the majority of hip replacements will continue to function well for 20 years and longer.
How Long Will The Incision Be?
The importance of wound healing, good position of the new hip and prevention of infection should not be compromised by a vain attempt to use too small an incision. So the incision is just as long as it needs to be.
Will I Have Pain?
The surgery is done to reduce pain and improve movement and it is our job to minimise post operative pain. With a spinal anaesthetic and the use of local anaesthetic there is usually no pain on waking post surgery. This allows you and the nursing staff to be on top of the pain when the anaesthetic wears off.
How Long Will I Be In Hospital?
Usually 3 to 4 days. With good home support this can be shortened.
