Post-Procedure Care for Revision Hip Replacement
After undergoing revision hip replacement, you must take special care to prevent the new joint from dislocating and to ensure proper healing. Some of the common precautions to be taken include:
Avoid sitting on a low chair.
Use an elevated toilet seat.
Avoid bending down to pick up things; instead, a grabber can be used to do so.
Never cross your legs or bend your hips past a right angle (90 degrees).
Place a pillow between your legs while sleeping for 6 weeks.
