Brief Answer:
can be normal
Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for your question.
That can be normal after a hip replacement. It can just be part of the hardware getting adjusted around her ligaments and tendons.
Have the nurse check it and then make sure her orthopedist checks it at the next visit.
It is not a reason to assume something is wrong.
Please let me know if you have further questions
