Total hip replacement is often referred to as total hip arthroplasty in the clinic. Depending on the prosthesis used and the physical condition, the recovery time will be somewhat different. Generally, you can walk on the ground for 5-6 days after the operation, and you can lift heavy objects for 2-6 months, but you can’t carry out heavier weight-bearing activities, and some patients will need a longer period of time. The types of prosthesis commonly used in total hip arthroplasty can be categorized into biological prosthesis and cemented prosthesis. Patients with cemented prosthesis can start weight bearing in 2~3 months, while patients with biologic prosthesis can gradually start weight bearing in 3~6 months. Patients who are bedridden for a long period of time need to perform functional exercises for the lower limbs to gradually restore the muscle strength of the lower limbs because of the muscle atrophy of the lower limbs, and the recovery time may be prolonged for several months. In addition, patients with biologic prosthesis or cemented prosthesis should not perform greater weight-bearing exercise to avoid loosening of the prosthesis. Patients with total hip arthroplasty are recommended to have regular follow-ups for early recovery.
