Hip Precautions (applicable if you have had a total hip
replacement or a Hemiarthroplasty – see page 7 and 8).
DO NOT bend your operated hip further
than 90 degrees. Sit in a high chair so
that you do not bend your hip too far
when you are sitting/standing. When
bending down to pick something up,
keep your operated leg behind you.

DO NOT cross your operated leg over
the midline of your body when sitting.
