Tips Resulting Best Recovery After Hip Replacement!

What aids in best results after your hip replacement?

Practising these recovery tips will help you to have a smooth and successful recovery.

1-get in a healthy exercise routine

Most hip replacement patients are able to walk within the same day or next day of surgery; most can resume normal routine activities within the first 3 to 6 weeks of their total hip replacement recovery. 
Once light activity becomes possible, it's important to incorporate healthy exercise into your recovery program. Recommended activities include gradually increased walking and light household activities (sitting, standing, climbing stairs). Movement is essential to a healthy recovery.

2-pay attention to diet and weight

Excess weight can put stress on your new hip prosthesis and increase wear and the risk of complication. 
Maintaining a healthy body weight before and after your surgery can help to improve your recovery process and the ultimate lifespan of your prosthesis. Additionally, make sure to maintain a balanced high protein diet during your recovery.

3-exercise to promote blood flow

Certain exercises can help to promote blood flow and prevent clots. These include:

• Regularly squeezing the thigh and calf.
• Motion exercises for the legs that utilize full range of leg motions
• Walking with or without the assistance of supportive devices (such as walker/cane)
• Avoid squating

4-make household preparations 

Your mobility and ability to accomplish normal, daily tasks following your surgery will be strongly reduced. Prior to your surgery, make practical modifications to your house like getting a western chair (commode) fitted.

5-alarming signs to be watched for

As you should be very well aware that prosthesis is a non living foreign body which now incorporated within your body to perform a proper function, such a body part is always susceptible to infection.

Any sort of fever or even respiratory tract infection should be well treated first hand to avoid infection around the prosthesis.
