The questions you'd ask a friend who'd already done it
When can I stop using crutches?
Most patients reduce to one crutch or none within two to six weeks, depending on strength and surgeon advice.
Are there movements I must avoid early on?
For the first weeks you may be advised to avoid deep bending, crossing the legs or twisting to protect the new joint.
How long does a hip implant last?
Modern hip implants commonly last 15 to 20 years or more, depending on activity, weight and bone quality.
