Are there any restrictions after hip resurfacing?
No, and particularly not if done with a minimally invasive surgery approach. The recovery time for hip resurfacing is shorter than for any standard hip replacement, and when combined with minimally invasive hip surgery, the results are better in terms of pales pain, quicker recovery, no precautions, and returning to usual activities. Return to full activity can be expected to take around 2-4 weeks on average. Your hip will have improved range of motion and strength. Some precautions do apply to hip resurfacing though, and these are designed to avoid the small risk (around 1 percent) of a femoral neck fracture, i.e., the neck part of the thigh bone breaking off. High-impact activities such as running and jumping should be avoided for several months after hip resurfacing. After that, there are no restrictions beyond listening to what feels right to your body.
