Returning to work time is longer if your job requires a lot of standing, walking or physical activity. Typically patients can return to ânormal life activitiesâ between three and six months post-surgery. The average long-term recovery time for total hip replacement patients is approximately six to twelve months. More about how long it takes to recover from hip replacement surgery >>.
A number of factors determine return to work such as the type of procedure performed, the job description (ie manual labor, desk work), the commute etc. In general however, patients who undergo an anterior approach total hip replacement may feel capable of returning to deskwork within 2 weeks of the time of surgery. How long before I can take a bath or shower or go swimming? Unless otherwise instructed by Dr. Davidovitch you may shower 2 days after surgery provided the wound is dry. Bathing in a tub or swimming is not recommended for the first 2 weeks after surgery. How far can I bend forward after the hip is replaced? If an anterior approach hip replacement is performed, typically there are no restrictions on bending and patients may safely bend forward as much as they tolerate.
