How to promote healing after a hip replacement procedure at home?
Patients are usually discharged in 1-3 days after hip replacement. After being discharged, you can do the following to promote healing at home:
- Use an assistive walking device such as a cane, walker, etc.
- Rearrange your furniture to make it more maneuverable via walking aids.
- Place your frequently used items such as phone, remote controls, etc., in easy reach.

- Use a comfortable, low, soft-cushioned chair for sitting.
- Refurbish your bathroom with assistive devices such as shower chairs, raised toilet seats, etc., to avoid bending too much.
