A member asked:
At 11 weeks post op tkr, is it ok to ride roller coasters or would riding them cause damage to the prosthesis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Careful : that would depend on multiple factors but it is less than three months so I would avoid anything that places stress in the area. This is a big surgery that you do not want to have redone.
