Most patients after hip surgery are kept on partial weight-bearing for 6 weeks. In theory, patients with cemented prostheses are capable of bearing full weight immediately after surgery. The cement has reached 90% of its strength some 10-15 minutes mixing.
For example, Dr. Farjo frequently asks patients to only bear 50% of their body weight on the affected hip for 1-2 weeks after surgery to allow the hip to heal after procedures such as bone spur removal. Usually, physical therapy is not needed. Swelling around the hip, groin, and leg resolve usually within a week.
