    I just found this forum! What great information. I had my left hip replaced on Sept 4, so Week 4. It was a posterior approach with significant muscle attachment due to fatty atrophy. It was an outpatient procedure, went in at 8AM and was home at 3PM. Used a walker for about a week and now use a...
