Frequently asked questions
- What are the different types of hip implants?
-
There are different types of hip implants; depending on the case, your specialist will select cemented, uncemented, or hybrid prostheses.
- How long does the hip surgery take?
-
The hip surgery lasts around two and a half hours.
- Is it an outpatient surgery?
-
Generally, a night in the hospital is required. The day after, you can recover at home.
- When would I be able to walk again?
-
Patients with a cemented prosthesis can walk with assistance the next day. If you got uncemented or hybrid prostheses, you would start walking that week.
- Is it possible to have both hips replaced in the same surgery?
-
Some large hospitals have the equipment to replace both hips. Nevertheless, I won’t recommend it since the risk of trans-surgical complications increases.
- Is it possible to avoid the surgery with joint infiltrations or alternative therapy?
-
Some cases may improve, but some won’t. Joints with advanced damage will only get better after surgery.
