Answer
According to the description of the case, a 63-year-old female has aseptic necrosis of the femoral head and is recommended for hip joint replacement surgery, which can be a semi-hip or full-hip replacement. The operation takes about 45 minutes to 1 hour, and generally, within 3 to 7 days after the operation, one can use crutches to get out of bed and walk, with a quick recovery and minimal trauma.
