What is the maximum weight a 6 foot 3 inch male can be for total hip replacement surgery?
? There is no specific # but bmi over 40 or certainly over 50 makes it a great deal harder to do
also risk tends to go up with increased weight.
It is good to be fit. For your height, your weight should be between 80 to 85kg(175 to185 pounds). This is healthy weight but it is not an absolute figure that determines your fitness for surgery. Ask your orthopedic doctor's advice too.
