Age is only one factor and for a fit and healthy 90 year old the operation should be fine. The Queen of England's mother had one done at 97

Can you use a hoyer lift after hip replacement?

You CAN use a hoyer lift after a hip replacement. You have to be mindful of the patient's hip precautions during the transfer. Using a pillow between the patient's legs will help to avoid excessive hip adduction. When possible use multiple people to assist in the transfer. Be sure that the patient's hip flexion does not exceed 90 degrees. Depending on the reason for the transfer there may be better options than a hoyer lift. If it is for the purpose of getting a patient out of bed into a chair a stand pivot transfer using a gait belt bed>chair would be a good option. Also a slide board transfer into a stretcher chair would also be a better option. Simply sitting on the edge of the bed (with supervision) for an extended period of time would have similar benefits to sitting in a chair. To sum it up you can use a hoyer lift for hip replacement patients however there are better options. I have personally only used a hoyer lift with hip replacement patients that have fallen out of bed and there is no other lift options. Any kind of transfer is safe as long as you adhere to the total hip precautions (no flexion > 90 degrees, no crossing the legs, no internal rotation) and weight bearing status. Have a qualified person assist you with transfers (occupational and physical therapy) if they are available.

Answer 1: In Australia you would only have to see your GP and If You were not insured for it Or even if you were you would get the hip FREE after being placed on a waiting list for about up to 3 months. Answer 2: Although a completely free hip replacement may not be possible in the U.S., you can elect to receive your surgery overseas at a savings of up to 80% of the cost. Many internationally approved hospitals and surgeons are available to provide safe and affordable surgery. For more information about medical travel, visit www.medretreat.com Answer 3: An alternative to hip replacement is hip resurfacing surgery in the case you are a young and active individual (usually < 65yrs of age). For affordable orthopedic surgery like hip replacement and hip resurfacing, consider medical tourism, which means traveling to another city or country for huge discounts (60-90%) on major medical care at some of the top hospitals in the world.
