Dr. O'Connor explains when women can return to work after hip replacement surgery.

Dr. O'Connor:
A woman could go back to work usually four to six weeks after hip replacement surgery, depending on how complicated their surgery was or how simple it was. So it really depends on the individual patient, and that’s another thing that’s really helpful to talk to the surgeon about before the surgery.
