[quote=Anonymous]At the time my dad was having hip replacement surgery (2008), muscle sparing hip replacement was a pretty new procedure and that’s what was used. It was as minimally invasive as possible at the time. The surgical unit made my dad get up and walk very soon after surgery. He never stayed at a rehabilitation center — but he was only 65. I think he was only in the hospital for 2 days. He needed a hospital bed and stayed on one floor of his house during his recovery. He was supposed to use a walker. Even though it’s uncomfortable to recover from surgery, his pain was much less post surgery than what he’d been living with, with his bad hip.[/quote]
