Returning to work

We understand that being able to return to work after hip replacement is a concern for many patients, but it’s important that you take the time to let the wound heal and do your physiotherapy.

When to return to work after hip replacement

You will probably feel ready to go back to work after 3 months or so, but it’s important to be sure that you’re fully rested. Tiredness is one of the main reasons why you might wish to postpone your return to work after hip replacement. Most people find that they are tired for several weeks following surgery and it can affect your ability to concentrate. You need to focus on your rehabilitation, and not let the demands of your job could get in the way of your daily exercises and progress.
