Good morning, Ellen!

I have had both hips replaced. The right hip was replaced on April 12th of this year and it was an anterior procedure. I played a bridesmaid luncheon three weeks after that. Of course, I had to have help loading and unloading the harp but otherwise it was fine. The first hip replacement was done in December of 2011 and it was a posterior procedure. I do not rightly remember how long it was after the surgery that I was able to play, however it was not very long. Having had both, I would recommend the anterior as it does not involve as much muscle and the incision is much smaller, thus the healing time is shorter. Anyway, best of luck.

If you are considering a hip replacement I would recommend that you find a surgeon who does the anterior procedure rather than the posterior.
