What to Expect After an Anterior Hip Replacement 🦴

The anterior approach to hip replacement is a less invasive technique that often results in less pain in the immediate post-operative period and reduced muscle disruption compared to traditional approaches.

Recovery highlights:
✔️ Less pain early after surgery
✔️ Faster early mobility
✔️ No cutting through major muscles
✔️ Earlier return to daily activities

Your recovery happens in phases:
• Immediately after surgery: walking the same day with possible same day discharge home
• Weeks 1–4: home recovery with physical therapy
• Weeks 4–12: building strength and returning to normal routines

Following your surgeon’s instructions, staying consistent with physical therapy, and managing pain appropriately are key to a smooth recovery.
