Activities after resurfacing ?

[Guest guest]

I am a 60+ year old triathlete who may be a good candidate for hip

resurfacing. What are my chances of returning to the sport? Anyone

out there with similar experiences?

If the rest of your muscular skeletal system is up to it, you can

definitely resume triathlons after resurfacing. I've had both hips

resurfaced with the C+ from Medical Tech. - I'm in my 7th year

on one and the 12th week on the other. I have no physical

limitations from the implants. I'll be 57 in a few days, and

based on my experience, it takes about 6 - 9 months following surgery

to resume tinmans and closer to a year for ironmans.

My advice at this stage is to do your homework and choose your

surgeon carefully.
