Is Recovery Time Long After A Total Hip Replacement Surgery?

Thanks, XXXXXXX
Healing will take time after two surgeries.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
After a hip replacement it takes 4-6 weeks for the complete recovery. Since she had to undergo another surgery it will take some more time for her to heal completely. The numbness can be due to a mild nerve compression due to local swelling. Putting weight on the leg immediately s not advisable as it can cause a repeat dislocation.
Just give her some time to heal and with the help of regular physiotherapy she will be well soon.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.

Can be nerve compression.
Detailed Answer:
Hello.
Thanks for writing again.
The inability to move and twitches can be due to a nerve compression but not any permanent damage. This should improve as the hematoma and swelling decreases. The recovery in such cases may take 4-6 weeks. You can get a nerve conduction study done to confirm this.
Hope my answer is helpful.
Do accept my answer in case there are no further queries.
Regards.
