A member asked:
How soon after a hip replacement is it safe to undertake a 200km road trip (as passenger) for a 43yo female?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Road trip hip surg: Prevailing thought is that running will speed the wear compared to low impact activities. Some orthopedic surgeons do not encourage, or discourage. However sitting in vehicle as passenger may not present problem. Check with your surgeon
