HIP REPLACEMENT ... What is it and how to regain quality of life after surgery
WHAT IS IT?
... A hip replacement is a common type of surgery where a damaged hip joint is replaced with an artificial one (known as a prosthesis).
Adults of any age can be considered for a hip replacement, although most are carried out on people between the ages of 60 and 80.
A modern artificial hip joint is designed to last for at least 15 years. Most people experience a significant reduction in pain and some improvement in their range of movement.
WHEN IS IT NEEDED?
Hip replacement surgery is usually necessary when the hip joint is worn or damaged to the extent that your mobility is reduced and you experience pain even while resting.
The most common reason for hip replacement surgery is osteoarthritis although there are other conditions that lead to replacement.
PREPARING FOR SURGERY:
Before you go into hospital, find out as much as you can about what's involved in your operation.
Stay as active as you can. Strengthening the muscles around your hip will aid your recovery. If you can, continue to take gentle exercise, such as walking and swimming, in the weeks and months before your operation.
Seeing a specialist joint replacement physiotherapist prior to your surgery is very helpful as they will give you helpful exercises and information.
Read about preparing for surgery, including information on travel arrangements, what to bring with you and attending a pre-operative assessment.
RECOVERY AND REHABILITATION:
The rehabilitation process after surgery can be a demanding time and requires commitment.
For the first four to six weeks after the operation you'll need a walking aid, such as crutches, to help support you.
Most people are able to resume normal activities within two to three months but it can take up to a year before you experience the full benefits of your new hip.
Specialist physiotherapy following your hip replacement is essential to make sure you get the most out o it. Returning to normal life and walking properly.
We have specialist joint replacement physiotherapists here at The Chorley Clinic, Elizabeth Eaves has 30 years' experience treating joint replacements including at Wrightington Hospital where Professor Sir John Charnley first developed the hip joint replacement.

Adults of any age can be considered for a knee replacement, although most are carried out on people between the ages of 60 and 80. More people are now receiving this operation at a younger age. When is a knee replacement needed:
... Knee replacement surgery is usually necessary when the knee joint is worn or damaged to the extent that your mobility is reduced and you experience pain even while resting and/or in bed.

Seeing a physiotherapist who specialises in joint replacement will be very helpful as they will give you exercises and advice to aid your recovery. Recovering from knee replacement surgery You'll usually be in hospital for three to five days, but recovery times can vary depending on the individual and type of surgery being carried out. Once you're able to be discharged, your hospital will give you advice about looking after your knee at home. You'll need to use a frame or crutches at first and a physiotherapist will teach you exercises to help strengthen your knee.
Most people can stop using walking aids around six weeks after surgery and start driving after about eight to 12 weeks. Full recovery can take up to two years as scar tissue heals and your muscles are restored by exercise. A very small amount of people will continue to experience some pain after two years. Specialist physiotherapy rehabilitation is an essential part of a good recovery.
