General precautions include not bring the two legs close together and rotating them inwards , squatting and cross legged sitting is to be avoided !
Rest of precautions depends on type of implant and the indication for surgery
The walking will be more or less normal if procedure went well
Next Steps
X-rays need to be seen for a final opinion
