Hip Release

  1. Yeh,it's that time for a replacement part, having had both knees replaced it's now time to have another new part fitted. Does anyone here have any idea how long I should leave it before getting out on my XDiavel again???Or is it time to call it quits and buy a Porsche???

  4. I’d imagine it’ll be unique to you. Ask the surgeon and/or try riding after a while and see if it hurts?
     
  5. My mate had a hip replaced. Took him 4 months before he could bend it enough to sit on his bike comfortably.
     
  6. Definitely have a word with the medical team + perhaps talk to them about your expectations for 'after' too. My mate had one hip done and had to get used to how to do stuff (climbing, cycling, motorbike) a bit differently. Does them all now 1 year on...

  8. I wonder how long it will be before we can have a complete body transplant? I’d like an athletic body please!
    Oh, and some intelligence
     
  9. Same here, I lost my athletic body years ago ,and as for intelligence, I'm not sure I ever had that...... that's why I'm still riding bikes @ 68 years old...

  10. youre not supposed to drive for 6 weeks but its a bit individual. make sure you do the exercises before the op and youll soon be back at it
     
  11. My mate just had his hip replaced in South Africa. He came off his e-bike, I saw the whole thing, went down like a sack of spuds. Fracture = hip replacement. The very next day they had him up and walking. Then maybe the day after that they had him going up and down stairs. 3 days he was back home.

    Getting moving quickly is the most important thing. If you don’t you might never get proper movement again.

    If you do the exercises there’s no reason why you can’t have a better life than before. So do the physio and make getting back on a bike a target. If you can walk up and down stairs you can sit on a motorbike.

    Happy days!

  12. I know a few people that have had their hips done and they say they are better than ever before. I think the key is to do the physio, I learned that from breaking my back.

  14. Hi there. My wife is a physio and says hopefully your 'hip release' surgery can be done via keyhole which is less envious than open surgery. If all goes well (with 'keyhole') typicality you are looking at about 6 weeks for good mobility, but everyone has different recovery rates.
    As a general rule, listen to your surgeon and get a good physiotherapist on board ASAP!
    Good luck sir!
    (P.S. it is a 'hip release' procedure and not a 'hip replacement' right?)
     
  15. Andy Murray played and won in Tennis tournaments with a new hip. I don't know but maybe @Alan Blake just wants an excuse to buy a 911.
