Resurfacing patients should avoid stressing the new joint by jumping upon their hip, preferably during the first six months. Also, high-impact activities such as jogging and running should be avoided during this time to minimize the risk of a fracture.
Activities where deep bending of the hip is mandatory, such as some yoga positions, are best avoided. After three months, riding and golf are allowed.
Most patients can return to high-level activities following their hip surgery after clearance from the surgeon.
