What is normal broken hip recovery time?

Answer by  RyanJames (41)

A typical recovery time for this time of procedure can vary greatly. It can range from 6 weeks all the way up to a year. The progress of physical therapy can all lead to recovery time.

Speaking from experience, at 6 weeks I was still in bed. At 4 months I was still on crutches. At 6 months I could run 1/4 mile. At 1 year I could run 4 miles. 20 years later, I am still feeling it at times.

It takes a couple of time to recover from a broken hip. After the surgical operation has been done, the patient must undergo a series of rehabilitation to put back the operated bone into it's normal condition.

Unfortunately you can run into a lot of complications when healing a broken hip. It can take anywhere from 6 weeks to 1 year. Be in for the long haul because a hip is so easily re-injured.

I had a complete hip replacement done 4/4/12 & still have pain in hip & femur bone on leg, I know it takes time to heal & am looking forward to spending it with my Gran'Children. It takes time to get tissue around thye bone to help it heal.
