Re: Any Horseback Riders here after Hip Resurfacing?

[Guest guest]

I, too, am interested in how much time must pass before it's okay to ride

horses. Anyone out there know? Joyce (Dr Gross, LHR, 2/04)

[Guest guest]

I am waiting to have both my hips resurfaced mainly so i can return

to regular horse riding.

i have had similar fears but i am confident that i will be riding

within a few months. My friend had bilateral resurfacing in uk in

september and she was back riding regularly in november.

jane - still on the uk waiting list!

Hi Roper:

While I am not a full-time horseperson like yourself, I do like to ride. I

grew up riding, but now only do so occasionally. I went riding at 5 months

post-op. I'm sure I could have gone before, but for some reason did not.

I did fine. I even took a bit of a tumble dismounting (my muscles were

sore because it had been so long) and even the 4 foot drop didn't hurt my

hip. I'm sure your doctor will advise you when you can return to riding.

There is no reason why you can't live it 24/7 again.

Any Horseback Riders here after Hip Resurfacing?

I am really glad I found this group! I hope this will be an

alternative to THR for me!

I am a horseback rider, have been all my life & am 46 years old.

I have " fairly severe " OA in my right hip, & am having a fair amount

of pain (because I can't sit well in the saddle from pain, my jeans

wear out on the L hip side, etc Needless to say, to be so

unbalanced now on a horse moving at speed is not the safest...

Anyone have this resurfacing & able to return to horseback riding?

This is a major part of me, & my husband's life & lifestyle too, we

live horses 24/7! I've never done any other sport, I don't know what

I'd do, if I have to give it up.

Thanks all in advance for your replies!

Hi,

There was a horse person here when I first joined a couple of years

ago......... they are probably off enjoying their horses at this

point........ Horse riding has never been mentioned as a no no and how soon

after would no doubt be dependant on the shape you are in preop........ how

quickly you totally heal and strengthen the operated hip area so it takes

the natural stresses of riding etc......... A resurface is practically

impossible to dislocate so it has to have some major advantages for

continuing horse riding.

We did have a rider here...so help me, I'm horrible with names. le?

Try putting that name in the search and see what posts you get. I remember

she was pushing wheelbarrows, repairing roofs, and throwing hay pretty quickly.

I am also a equestrain person myself. I competed in the local rodeo

circuit in Arizona until May of last year. The pain got too great and

had a BHR put in by Dr DeSmet in June. I was back riding in Spetember

and I am now back on the rodeo circuit with no pain at all. Life is

great. Good luck.

Hi Tom,

That is great! I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind.

I am also in AZ, I am curious why you went to Dr DeSmet, instead of

the closer Los Angeles Joint Replacement Institute with Dr Amstutz &

all?

Did you have osteoarthritis of the hip, or another problem of the hip?

Thanks so much for your answers! Roper (Team Roper in AZ! )
