A member asked:

Hi i i am a very fit 55 yr old , but i have a calcification on my hip joint and need key hole surgery , how long to get back to full fitnessthank you?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Arthroscopy: Since you are "very fit" you should be back to full fitness in around a month after surgery. The standard time is 6-8 weeks after surgery.
