John had surgery to repair a ruptured quad tendon. They transfused platelets just prior and throughout the surgery very slowly. He then got two units of red cells after surgery. Since hip replacement is way more extensive, getting red cells prior to boost HGB sounds like a good idea. Make sure your surgeon talks with your oncologist so that they are both on the same page.
