FAQ

What Will Happen at Follow Up Appointments After a Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement Surgery

It is not uncommon for someone to tell you they feel amazing after they have a hip replacement surgery. Sure, initially they will be sore and there will be a period of rehabilitation, but most patients experience a vast improvement in how their joint feels. Are you currently seeking information about getting a hip replacement yourself?

The information out there from your doctor, magazines and the internet can be overwhelming. It is hard not to be swayed one way or another regarding getting a metal-on-metal or other type of hip replacement. Ultimately, it is up to you and your orthopedic surgeon to determine if it is the best option for you.

Before the surgery, be sure you know what all is involved. Follow your doctor’s rules and regulations you have to adhere to before the surgery is performed. What about after the surgery? You will likely have several follow up appointments regarding your metal-on-metal hip replacement. Let’s talk about how you will feel after the surgery and what the doctor will do at the follow up appointments.

How You Feel After a Metal-on-Metal Hip Replacement

Initially after your surgery, you will be in a recovery room in the hospital where you will wake up and be monitored for vital signs. A hospital stay of about 2-3 days is typical after a hip replacement, depending on how you are recovering. There will be some pain after surgery that can be remedied with medications.

During the time in the hospital, your doctor will monitor you for complications, such as blood clots and infections. The orthopedic surgeon often supplies you with compression stockings and medication to help control any blood clots issues. The doctors and nurses will help you understand the symptoms of blood clots so you can inform them immediately if you have any of those symptoms.

Recovery and Follow Up After a Hip Replacement Surgery

Beginning immediately after surgery, you will need to attend physical therapy regularly. It will start with gentle stretching and contracting/releasing several muscles to help circulation. Movement in the hips needs to be restricted initially. In the hospital, you will work with a physical therapist at least once a day.

When you return home, you will do outpatient physical therapy to rehabilitate your hip. They will help you eventually regain all of your normal hip movement back. Typical physical therapy regimens are 3-4 times a week for several weeks. Physical therapists will also give you exercises you can do at home.

It is important that you illicit the help of someone when you get home. If there is no one who can help you out and stay with you, it may benefit you to consider an inpatient rehabilitation center. There, you will have nurses and doctors helping you rehabilitate in the best manner possible for the best outcome from your surgery.
