How long does a hip replacement surgery last?
The duration of hip arthroplasty is 1 – 2 hours, depending on several factors.
When we talk about duration, we are referring to the time you will be in the operating room. This may vary due to factors such as the type of surgery performed (primary or revision) or your current state of health. Read more.
-
How long do you have to stay in the hospital after hip surgery?

Generally, the hospitalization period is usually about 2 to 5 days, but in some cases, it could be shorter or longer. Read more.
-
How long does recovery from hip replacement surgery take?
The total recovery time after hip replacement surgery ranges between 2 and 6 months.
- If your work does not require much physical effort, you may be able to return to your routine after 2 months.
- On the other hand, to perform tasks that require a little more intensity, rehabilitation of 4 - 6 months may be necessary. Read more.
-
How much should you walk after hip surgery?
After hip surgery, the specialist or physiotherapist will recommend how and how much the patient should walk, in most cases, on the same day of the operation or the next day.
It must be taken into account that in the early stages of recovery, the objective is to mobilize the area and prevent stiffness and/or complications. To do this, it is recommended to walk very short distances with the help of a walker, crutches or canes.
As recovery progresses, it is common for the patient to walk several times a day for 5-10 minutes and increase the time and distance.
-
Do I have to take a PCR test before surgery?
Currently our collaborating hospitals and surgeons do not ask patients to take a PCR test as a mandatory requirement to enter the operating room.
If exceptionally this test would be required by the hospital or surgeon, we inform you that the PCR test is not included in the price of the surgery.
If you have any questions about this specific issue, please contact our patient service department.
