For a hip replacement, most patients can begin walking on the day they have had surgery.

Recovery following hip surgery varies. On average, hip replacement recovery can take around 2-4 weeks. Some experts quote a recovery time of 3-6 weeks. But, more importantly, you should remember that everyone is different, and the recovery time can vary--depending on the individual's health status, comorbidities and previous activity level.
