my surgeon used the posterior approach but does not impose the restrictions strictly. I waited 3 weeks and then started sleeping on my side (with a pillow to support the leg). I'm not sleeping on the operated side simply because it's too uncomfortable.
I'm now 4 weeks post opp, I've not intentionally broken the 90 degree rule but have by mistake. Hips still in the socket so far...

My consultant said 6 weeks on my back......I stuck to that.
Then on my operated side for a while before moving on to my other side
As for the 90 degree rule about other things......6 weeks mine was very strict but after that relaxed a bit but I had to do my best not to break that rule for a few months
Love

I never ceases to amaze me when I read the posts.....how surgeons/consultants differ in their opinions......even in the UK.
I know USA is completely different. Before I got mine done I always thought that it was a standard rule across all hospitals here
Oh well.....I dont know how much help we are to newbies when we all have different stories
Keep well everyone

I hadnt reallised that the same hospital would be diferent
I know there are a couple in the hospital where I had mine done and they disagree on anaesthetic.....some prefer spinal blocks, some GA, some epidural.....I agree......its best to do what your surgeon says
