walker…cane…anterior
I had posterior THR a year ago and had all kinds of restrictions. My mom had Anterior THR Wednesday. She is using a walker and has an appointment in 2 weeks to be evaluated. The nurse at the hospital told her this dr doesn’t care if you come in with a walker, cane, or nothing at the 2 week mark. Although the 90 degree rule was mentioned to her, nothing was said about weight bearing. They just kept telling her go by how you feel. She is very physically fit and healthy with strong bones. She wants to start trying steps without the walker. Maybe go to the cane if it feels ok. Did anyone do this just a few days after surgery?
