Your orthopedist will give you good advice. Heed it. It's going to depend on your general heath and strength.

I just got a new hip, it's the best thing I e ever done. But, I have to tell you my quads aren't nearly as strong as I thought they were.

Much improved techniques these days and faster recovery time. They have you up and walking the first day.
