After hip total hip replacement, you should wait for about 7 to 8 weeks to put full weight without a cane or crutches. This is in order to reduce the risk of the stem collapsing into the femer. You need to go for a checkup so that your doctor can tell you if your hip has healed enough to progress from cane to crutches.
