Walking After Hip Replacement
Walking after hip replacement usually begins with assistance once the patient is medically stable and the surgeon allows mobilisation. The exact pace depends on diagnosis, pain control, surgical complexity, strength, balance and rehabilitation.
Key Guidance
Use a walker, stick or other support exactly as advised.
Do not rush independent walking before gait and balance are safe.
Sudden worsening pain, inability to bear weight, fever or calf swelling needs review.
