Office Follow Up | Hip
You will be encouraged to attend regular follow-up visits after your hip replacement surgery. The schedule for these post-surgery visits is as follows: 2 months (eight-week), 6 months, 1 year, 3 years, 5 years, 7 years, 10 years, 12 years, 15 years, 17 years, 20 years and 25 years.
It is important for you to understand the necessity of attending ALL of your post-surgery follow-up evaluations. Even though you may be feeling fine, it is still vital for you to come in for those regular check-ups. Having your hip replacement(s) checked every two or three years is necessary for your continued good health and pain-free daily living.
As a reminder, we will send you a postcard about one month prior to your follow-up due date so that you may choose an appointment time that is convenient for you. Please remember to attend these follow-up visits�the success of your hip replacement depends on it!
