Is there life after free vascularized fibular grafting to the hip?
• Yes. But it takes time for you to feel like your old self. • After the first 6 months of protected weight bearing with crutches on the operated hip, it is recommended that you limit your activities to walking, swimming, and stationary bicycling for the next 6 months. • After 1 year from surgery, you may resume your activities. Well-tolerated activities include bicycling, walking, swimming, and golf. It is generally recommended to avoid sports that cause jarring or aggressive starting and stopping such as jogging, singles tennis, soccer, and basketball.
