The discussion is about precautions after dislocation, not the initial hip replacement. It's true orthopedic surgeons disagree widely about precautions after initial hip replacement, but dislocation is possible with any hip replacement. (https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/11207000221099862 has information on rare dislocation with Superpath, as an example).

If you were to fall after hip replacement and dislocate, or dislocate for other reasons, your doctor will likely advising precautions - I am guessing the ER will have precautions on discharge! The type of precautions may vary with the doctors assessment of whether you dislocated to the posterior or anterior, degree of trauma, fracture, signs of infection, how many dislocations have happened and possibly other factors

Best wishes
