Will I Ever Recover? – Everyone heals from total hip replacement surgery at a different rate depending on your age, the condition of your hip, and a myriad of other factors. Most patients will be restricted to using a walker or crutches for at least one month after your operation. Most patients will graduate to using a cane when outdoors when walking without assistive support while in your home. Total recovery varies, but usually takes at least three months.
