Information for patients about the enhanced recovery and prehabilitation program for hip replacement surgery, to optimise your condition pre-operatively
I had a total left hip replacement on August 1st, 2022. Surgery at 8am. Home on my deck at 4pm. I was given a specific exercise routine prior to surgery and another set after surgery. At 63 years old, arthritis finally caused bone on bone wear and tear on the joint. But as a hiker, bicyclist, skier, and snowshoe user, I had a very good level of fitness going into surgery. I was walking with no assistance devices on day 2 except for using a cane for longer walks up the road and back for balance. I was driving in 2 weeks and back to work in 3. I am again hiking and riding my bicycle. Range of motion has yet to return to normal but I am working on it. Overall, this has been a live altering experience. The week prior to surgery I could barely walk to the mail box and had to physically lift my leg into the car. I now feel better than I have in years. I go back to the Orthopedic office in December but at this time I have no restrictions other than to listen to my body as it heals.
@@junioranthonyjones5132 I'm coming up on 2 years since surgery. If I didn't know I had a hip replacement I could not tell based on how easy it is to do things I had trouble doing 2 Years ago.
Hi I'm on the waiting list for a hip replacement,can I just say the lady in the blue nurses uniform (didn't catch her name) was very concise and informative, and had a friendly nice nature about her.
The procedures here and restrictions are very different from those in other specialist orthopaedic units. The one I’m familiar with discharges patients routinely after one night in hospital. There are no specific hip precautions post op, although being sensible and avoiding twisting on the operated leg is appropriate. Walking without aids within two weeks would be common, depending on the patient. The operation approach is typically anterior so does little soft tissue damage and reduces the risk of dislocation and the need for precautions. Their methodology and procedure is a significant step forward (no pun intended) from what is shown in this Southampton video. Clearly practice across the NHS is not uniform and it is worth hunting down the better options.
Hello, This was a very useful video and answered many of my questions and I will be in a better position to prepare myself and home for my operation Take care Paul,,
I attended hip school at a London hospital and didn't find it useful.Lots of people have different questions so the nurse wasn't able to get through all the information...think people need a 1: 1 so individuals questions can be asked and answered
