What Do I Need After Hip Surgery?
Your Complete Home Recovery Equipment Checklist
Hip replacement and hip surgery recovery in Canada requires the right equipment at home to stay safe, reduce pain, and heal faster. Must Medical Equipment delivers and installs everything on your checklist — the same day you call.
Why Preparation Matters
Preparing Your Home Before Hip Surgery Discharge
In Canada, most hip replacement patients are discharged from hospital within 1–3 days of surgery. That means your home needs to be set up before you arrive. The right equipment prevents falls, reduces strain on your new hip, and helps you recover faster. Must Medical Equipment can deliver and install everything on your checklist the same day — so it’s ready when you get home.

Recovery Tips
Hip Surgery Recovery Tips for Canadians
Set Up Before You Come Home
Arrange equipment delivery before your surgery date or on the day of discharge. You should not be setting up equipment yourself after surgery.
Follow the 90-Degree Rule
After hip replacement, most surgeons in Canada advise not bending your hip past 90 degrees. A raised bed and lift chair help you follow this rule safely at home.
Use Your Walker Every Time
Don’t skip the walker, even for short trips around the house. Falls in the first weeks after hip surgery can be serious. Always use your walking aid until your physio clears you.
Rent Short-Term if Needed
Most hip surgery patients only need a hospital bed and walker for 6–12 weeks. Renting is a cost-effective option — we pick it up when you’re done recovering.
Ask Your Physio What You Need
Your physiotherapist or discharge planner will give you a specific equipment list. Call us with that list and we’ll deliver everything the same day.
BC Health Coverage
Some equipment may be partially covered through BC PharmaCare, extended health benefits, or WorkSafeBC. Ask your care team about coverage options before purchasing.
