My Aunt has had both done and considering her age had very little problems.
There's a little discomfort and the healing process takes a while, you're normally given crutches to help.
Sorry I can't be more help. -

I know two people who've had hip replacements,
One a colleague aged about 50, successful but longer than usual recovery time due to the different fittings/procedure they use on younger patients. I have the impression that his recovery was painful, and there are certain practical issues such as taking a dump which I believe caused him much discomfort and inconvenience for many weeks. But he walks about like a spring chicken again now.
One my gf's mother aged about 80, successful, she was up and walking within days.Comment

I read a couple of years back about failure rates due to MRSA. Perhaps this is a thing now well in the past.Comment

My uncle had one about 15 yrs ago, very successful and another last year as the original wore out, both very successful.Comment

Perhaps - check that your mum is recouperating in nice new accomodation - usually the preserve of private health care.

It's my dad. He has been in this hospital(Hillingdon) three or four times for stays so I think the reputation is pretty good.Comment
