I love this, it gets interesting when you have a total hip replacement of both hips at the same time .At the age of 60 I had a bilateral hip op in March 2016. Ball size in the socket has gone up to 35mm reducing the possibility of dis location, dropped from BMI of 27.5 to 22 by diet and exercise ( walking and cycling) ongoing physio is key, do mussel tendon work most days, keep everything tight! Have no problem in any movements that a normal pair of hips would normally do. I was unable to cross my legs for about 20 years prior to op. Heaton stop myself from crossing my legs for too long as it not good for blood circulation. Getting up out of chairs is just normally. Keeping a lean frame is very important in my view. Just thought I’d share this, so anyone out there who is holding back fro having the hip op can have hope that hey will be able to return to a norma life.

Putting leg out to side is what I found helps pick things up.
Are these precautions also necessary for anterior hip replacement
No. Anterior is different
Shoes on the couch is crazy
