Driving After Joint Replacement

Driving after joint replacement surgery depends on the type of surgery, your recovery progress, and which leg was operated on. Most people can return to driving within 4 to 6 weeks after surgery, but it’s important to get your doctor’s approval first. You should be off strong pain medications and able to control the car safely, including braking in an emergency. If you had surgery on your right leg, especially a knee or hip replacement, recovery might take a bit longer before it's safe to drive again. Practice in a safe area before hitting the road, and ensure you are comfortable and confident behind the wheel.
