Natural hazards. Most earthquakes and volcanic eruptions do not strike randomly but occur in specific areas, such as along plate boundaries. One such area is the circum-Pacific Ring of Fire, where the Pacific Plate meets many surrounding plates. The Ring of Fire is the most seismically and volcanically active zone in the world.
For routine hip surgery, we use the blood-thinning medicine for about 4 weeks after surgery. In addition to a blood thinner, we also use early mobility, spinal anesthesia, leg exercises, foot pumps, and efficient surgery as adjunctive measures to minimize the risk of blood clots.
The average hospital stay after hip replacement is one or two days. The day after your surgery, you will be helped into a chair and you may be able to walk limited distances. Your activity will increase with each day that follows. Recovery time varies from one patient to another. Much depends on other existing medical conditions.
