A member asked:

Is ice skating recommended after hip replacement?

Dr. Daniel Hampton answered

Specializes in Orthopedic Surgery

Hip Replacement: The biggest danger with ice skating after hip replacement is likely falling and either dislocating your new hip or breaking a bone around the hip. The actual skating part should be okay. I would recommend checking with your surgeon to make sure it is okay.
