Question
How long after hip dislocation can you walk?
Answer
After hip dislocation, patients typically need to rest for a period of time and follow their doctor’s guidance for rehabilitation training. After the reduction surgery, patients may need several weeks to several months to fully recover normal walking ability. This depends on the patient’s age, health status, the severity of the dislocation, and the progress during the recovery process. During the recovery period, patients may need to use crutches, walkers, or undergo physical therapy to help regain mobility. It is important to closely follow the doctor’s advice and contact the doctor promptly if discomfort or pain is felt.
