Joint replacement surgery is a procedure where a damaged joint, such as the hip or knee, is replaced with an artificial one, called a prosthesis. It’s usually performed to relieve pain and restore function in cases of severe arthritis or injury.
How long is the recovery period after joint replacement surgery?
The recovery time can vary depending on the type of joint replacement and your overall health. Typically, patients can expect to resume normal activities within 3 to 6 months, although some may take longer to regain full strength and mobility.
