 Hello, I'm Dr. Sunil Kini, consultant joint replacement and arthroscopy surgeon at Manipar Hospital's Bangalore. So most of the activities, the patient can be started after hip replacement surgery, walking, climbing stairs can be started up to within a couple of weeks after surgery. Driving can start about four to six weeks after surgery, long walks again four to six weeks after surgery, swimming, stationary bike, six weeks to three months after surgery, sporting activities like golf, doubles, tennis, everything can start three to six months after surgery. Don'ts after surgery of a hip replacement surgery is certain activities which we ask the patient not to do purely not because they can't do it, from the point of view that there will be an increased wear of the prosthetic joint in terms of either the plastic wear which leads to the longevity of the joint coming down. These activities include running, jogging, playing singles, tennis or such activities. However, there are certain joints such as resurfacing joints which we call as the hip resurfacing after which these kind of activities can still be carried on.
