An excellent basic introduction to what to expect in hip surgery by L. Johnson  5 Stars
September 02, 2009
I would recommend this book. I purchased it to read, and then pass along to my mother who is having hip surgery next month. The book is easy to read, understandable and presents the concepts very well. I particularly liked the sections on post-surgery movement restrictions, physical therapy, improvements to your home that are recommended after surgery and the description of the surgery itself. It is not an in-depth book by any means, but it really does the job of presenting the information for the average reader. An example: the book explains the term "abduction" as it relates to hip and leg movement. A non-medical professional may not know what this relevant term means, but after reading this book they will. It is not medical textbook-ish at all. The author is a physical therapist, and their expertise shines through.

Your Complete Guide To total Hip Replacements: Before, During And After Surgery by B. Beaty (San Diego CA) 5 Stars
August 28, 2006
I am scheduled to have total hip replacement, and I wanted to get my questions answered. This book was very informative and very thorough. The author went into detail with all of the information, and she even gave "check lists" at the end of each chapter and at the end of the book.
I highly recommend this book for anyone hasn't yet had the surgery and also for anyone who has just recently had the surgery.

A "must-have" for anyone contemplating or recovering from total hip replacement by Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) 5 Stars
January 11, 2006
Jennifer Frantin, a physical therapist of 16 years' experience, presents Your Complete Guide to Total Hip Replacements, a pocket-sized, in-depth guide to taking control of the medical process to ensure a successful hip replacement and adaptation. Chapters discuss how to prepare for surgery, including choosing the right doctor and hospital, and dealing with one's insurance company; exercise and recovery after the surgery; home care; outpatient physical therapy; and much more. Black-and-white photographs clearly illustrate such issues as the importance of not bending one's hip past 90 degrees during the recovery period, even when sitting up in bed, and how to turn properly when using a walker. A glossary and index round out this compact yet information-filled guide, highly recommended and a "must-have" for anyone contemplating or recovering from total hip replacement.
