Hip replacement alternative

Posted by longhorn1 @longhorn1, Jun 4 6:31pm

Has anybody been able to successfully avoid hip replacement surgery over a relatively long period? I’m A 75 year-old man only moderately active.

One year post TKR surgery. Am doing well. Training at the gym 3 x week. Am concerned if doing 90-100 lb leg exercises will harm my replacement knee. Standard orthopedic advice says no running, jumping, activities with pivoting.

Anyone have experience to share.
