Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is scheduled to undergo hip replacement surgery Friday.
Hip replacement surgery is a common procedure, which usually takes one to two hours, according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons. Recovery varies from patient to patient, but most can resume light, day-to-day activities within three to six weeks.
Lula is the oldest president in Brazil’s history. During the election campaign last year, he often joked that despite being over 70, “I have the energy of a 30-year-old and the lust of a 20-year-old.” Lula has been busy since taking office Jan. 1 from the man he defeated in the October 2022 runoff election, far-right President Jair Bolsonaro. Afteronto the world stage, Lula has traveled to 21 countries, including United States, China, France, India, Argentina and Angola.
