How Long Does It Take To Recover From Robotic Hip Replacement?
What Is Robotic Hip Replacement
Also known as robot-assisted total hip arthroplasty, this procedure uses advanced robotic technology and real-time imaging to assist surgeons in placing the implant with exceptional accuracy. A personalised surgical plan is developed using 3D scans to optimise alignment and positioning.
Key benefits include:
- Minimal damage to muscles and surrounding tissue
- Smaller incisions with faster healing
- Better implant positioning for long-term joint stability
- Shorter hospital stays and quicker return to daily routines
Recovery Timeline: What to Expect
Recovery varies depending on factors such as age, fitness level, and adherence to post-operative care. Below is a general timeline:
Day of Surgery to Week 1
- Discharge within 24 hours is common
- Walking begins with a walker or crutches
- Pain managed with medication and prevention for blood clots
- Wound care and early mobility are closely monitored
Weeks 2-3
- Gentle physiotherapy begins
- Transition from walker to cane
- Monitor signs of infection
Weeks 4-6
- More intensive physiotherapy
- Pain reduction
- Resume light household tasks
Weeks 7-12
- Walk unaided with near-normal gait
- Resume driving and office-based work
Months 3-6
- Return to low-impact activities
- Continued improvement in strength
- Regular follow-ups
Tips for a Smooth Recovery
- Commit to physiotherapy
- Eat a balanced diet
- Stay mobile
- Avoid high-impact activities
- Monitor the surgical site for complications
Advantages of Robotic-Assisted Hip Replacement
- Precise surgical planning and execution
- Reduced tissue trauma
- Faster recovery
- Better long-term implant alignment
