Postoperative Care / Rehabilitation
After surgery, you will be transported to the recovery room for close observation of your vital signs and circulation. You may remain in the recovery room for a few hours.
The condition being treated will determine whether or not you will be required to use crutches when you leave the hospital and the length of time that the crutches may be necessary. Your physician will provide specific information regarding your own postoperative plan.
Steps for rehabilitation following arthroscopic hip surgery vary from physician to physician. To learn what activities will be involved in your own rehabilitation, consult your physician.
