A member asked:
Does a hip replacement permanently disable you from any sports?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
NO: Many patients do many types of sports activities after hip replacement. What is frowned upon is pounding type activities such as tennis or jogging. Doubles is often ok. Golf, biking, hiking, etc are also good. Some people return to skiing(!).
