General Surgeon, Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel's Response

Hello,

As per my surgical experience, the tissue healing to normal parameters take around a period of 3-4 months post hip replacement surgery. Continue your current medications, assisted physiotherapy and self work up to get back to normal rhythm as soon as possible.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel, General Surgeon
