The length of your hospital stay following hip replacement surgery can vary, usually ranging from one to four days. The specific duration depends on factors such as your overall health, the chosen surgical approach, and the recommendations of your surgeon. In some cases, patients may be discharged on the same day as the surgery, while others may need a more extended stay for careful monitoring and initial recovery. The precise length of your hospital stay will be determined by your orthopedic doctor, taking into account your unique circumstances.
The recovery time following hip replacement surgery is variable, but in general, patients can anticipate resuming light activities within a few weeks and returning to normal activities within two to three months. Achieving complete recovery may take several months to up to a year, and this timeframe depends on individual factors as well as the commitment to post-surgery rehabilitation.

Regrettably, there is no uncomplicated way to repair a damaged ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) without undergoing reconstruction. When the ACL is torn, it typically does not heal naturally due to its limited blood supply. The standard treatment for significant ACL injuries is ACL reconstruction surgery, which involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft. For less severe ACL injuries, non-surgical management may be considered, involving rest, physical therapy, and exercises. However, full recovery is not guaranteed, and the knee may remain unstable. The choice of treatment should be made based on the injury's severity and guidance from an orthopedic doctor.
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged or arthritic joint is replaced with an artificial implant, commonly made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials.
