Not all are done by robot. If that is what you want do your research. Also at 57 she is kinda young. She may have to have it replaced again because they don't last forever.

I had mine replaced 40 days ago. Anterior approach done by Robert Easton. Like others have said. It’s great. I walked the day of the surgery. I did not spend the night in the hospital. I used a walker for a week, but honestly I could have gotten rid of it earlier. I’m walking in the neighborhood or going to the gym everyday. I hope your MIL does well!

Most people can’t do this pre surgery, so I would say your the 1 percent

I’m assuming they did a hemiarthroplasty (replaced the ball but not the socket).
57 y/o is right at the border of what I would do if it happened to me (pinning vs hemiarthroplasty). Risk of AVN is always a concern for a femoral neck fracture with any displacement if you go with percutaneous pinning. And immediate weight bearing as tolerated with the hemiarthroplasty is a big plus if the patient isn’t all that active/can’t hop around with wb precautions.

My dad has had 7! Yes 7 different replacements

Replacement...but make sure the surgeon you use does a frontal incision, not side of the hip incision.

Scruffy's FIL had his hip replaced and it changed his life.
Went from being relatively overweight and not moving exceptionally well to being in great shape and significantly improving his quality of life.

I do acute care PT and would say 90% of hips go home the day following surgery, 5% go home day of and 5% go to inpatient rehab/SNF. And unless a late afternoon surgery she should be on her feet with PT within a few hours

Forget it. Good luck OP hopefully you have a good surgeon.

correct, the break was right at the line of the ball on the femur (the doctor described it as "your ice cream fell out of the cone") and they replaced the ball with a titanium one. Like I said earlier, very quick procedure and she was feeling pretty good today. Nurse said she could technically put weight on it right now but my MIL wanted to wait until tomorrow.
She has one of the highest pain tolerances of anyone I know birthing multiple children and dealing with kidney stones, and she testified that breaking a hip and getting to the ER on a broken hip is the most painful thing she's gone through

For those that have had the replacement, how old are y’all?
I’m 42 and need both replaced. I do have the option for a PAO (pins). But frick me it sounds miserable

My 87 yr old mother had her hip replaced; up walking same day.

In all fairness, at 51 years old, a month before the Everest trip, I was doing 4hrs on the stairs with 40lbs on my back so I had a good head start after surgery

Find a surgeon who can do the anterior procedure. This avoids cutting through a lot of muscle and recovery is faster and a lot less painful. My wife had this procedure.

My mom had both replaced, the second one got infected with MRSA, was a real pain in the arse and had to be redone.

My MIL (72) fell back in late September and broke her hip. She had her hip replaced as well and came home from the hospital after a few days . She had some therapy and stayed off of it for awhile. She’s back to where she was prior to for the most part. She just moves a little slower.

I’m 63 but had this one done at 61

Good on the replacement. I had one and was back doing light work within 10 days. Had to ask myself why I endured the pain for 5 years before deciding to have it done.
Shoulder replacement is a horse of a different color though.
And I was 51
