Hip replacement surgery takes between one and two hours. You will have to stay in the hospital after your surgery.
Recovery from hip replacement isn’t the same for everyone - but most people are surprised by how quickly they get back on their feet. In fact, many start walking within just 24 to 48 hours after surgery! For light daily activities, most patients feel comfortable again within 4 to 6 weeks. Regaining full strength, flexibility, and confidence in your movement can take around 3 to 6 months, depending on your overall health and how well you follow rehab exercises. At AJRC Patna, we’ve seen patients recover faster and more comfortably - thanks to advanced techniques like robotic-assisted surgery and the personalized care approach led by Dr. Ashish Singh. His experience, combined with modern technology, helps ensure that every step of your recovery is guided, safe, and well-supported. If you’re thinking about hip replacement, know that you're not just getting surgery - you're getting a full journey of care with a team that’s with you from start to strong.
