PosterTotal Hip Replacement Precautions
One of the main concerns after total hip surgery is the prevention of dislocation. The posterior approach is used for over 90% of surgeries. Hip precautions should be used for the first 3 months after the surgery. A simple summary can be found here.
Complications and Problems
Despite all the precautions problems will occur. When problems do occur we will try to solve the issues and if needed refer you to others who can better help. Feel free to ask questions about your surgery even after your consultation. One of the team will happily respond.
