How Many Days of Physiotherapy Are Needed After Hip Replacement? 🦿

Physiotherapy starts just a few hours after surgery and continues in structured phases to help you walk confidently, regain strength, and return to daily life.

🕒 Phase 1: Day 0 to Day 3

Within 2 to 3 hours after surgery, the first person to visit you will likely be the physiotherapist

You’ll start walking with a walker and learn to sit up, stand, and use the toilet with support

Goal: Activate basic mobility under supervision

🏃 Phase 2: Week 1 to Week 3

Focus on walking with support, eventually phasing it out

Begin strengthening weak hip muscles

Learn to balance, shift weight, and move more confidently

💪 Phase 3: Week 4 to Week 6

Practice climbing stairs, walking outdoors, and even light car driving

Advanced muscle strengthening and coordination work

This phase helps you build lasting stability and function

🎯 Most patients need 4 to 6 weeks of regular physiotherapy for a safe, independent recovery. The pace may vary depending on your age, fitness level, and commitment to exercises.

Why Do Steroids Cause AVN? 💉🦴

AVN (Avascular Necrosis) is a condition where the blood supply to a bone, usually the hip, gets reduced — leading to bone damage or collapse.

While steroids are sometimes medically necessary, excessive or long-term use can increase the risk of AVN.

💥 How It Happens

High steroid doses can affect fat metabolism

They increase the size of fat cells inside bone marrow

This can block tiny blood vessels that nourish the bone

Over time, the bone receives less oxygen and nutrients, leading to AVN

🚨 At-Risk Group

People using steroids without medical supervision — especially for gymming, body-building, or quick muscle gains — are at higher risk, especially if doses are high or prolonged

🎯 Takeaway: Not all steroid use causes AVN, but abuse or unsupervised use can silently damage your joints.
If you have persistent groin or hip pain, get it checked early. MRI is the best tool for early diagnosis.

Can We Fix Bow Legs With Exercise? 🦵❓

It depends on age and the severity of the deformity.

✅ Children & Teenagers
• In growing kids, mild bow legs can improve with:
– Vitamin D therapy
– Proper nutrition
– Monitoring growth and development
• In early cases, exercises and bracing might help guide bone growth

❌ Adults
• Once bones have fully developed, exercises cannot correct bow legs
• In adults, the deformity is structural and may cause joint wear, pain, or early arthritis
• The only effective correction is through surgical procedures, like High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO)

🎯 Takeaway:
Bow legs in adults require professional evaluation and possible surgery. Exercise may improve strength, but not alignment.

Am I Too Fat for Hip Replacement Surgery? 🦴
Many patients wonder if their weight disqualifies them from having a Total Hip Replacement (THR). The answer is: No, it doesn’t.
🚫 Obesity is not a disqualifier
✅ General fitness matters more than weight alone
However, being overweight can come with higher risks, such as:
• Increased chance of fracture during surgery
• Possibility of implant malpositioning
• Slower wound healing and higher risk of infection
But if you are:
• Overweight
• Struggling with daily movements
• Living with constant hip pain
You can and should discuss THR with your orthopedic surgeon. With proper planning, a skilled surgeon, and guided post-operative care, hip replacement is absolutely possible and safe for many overweight patients.
🎯 Surgery is not about your weight. It’s about getting your life back.
