My Mum had a hip replacement 4 and a half weeks ago, she was wondering if it is normal for the hip joint to clonk when going upstairs and sometimes when walking?

you are welcome. Sorry I culdn't help more but you really do need to examine the hip to answer whether it is a normal clonk or not

No I don't think it should 'clonk'.
