Guest guest Posted December 29, 2004 Report Share Posted December 29, 2004 I am having a cup revision in January. I ride a road bike for exercise and would like to discuss expectations for riding again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Check w/ your doctor, it will depend on his restrictions. What were your restrictions on the first surgery? It will depend on how much disruption of tissue takes place during the surgery. Marilyn deargle2 wrote: I am having a cup revision on 1-4-05.

Guest guest Posted December 30, 2004 Report Share Posted December 30, 2004 Thank you for the reply. I did't have any restrictions other than the normal ones. I was wondering if there is any difference in the recovery between the two. > > > > > > > I am having a cup revision on 1-4-05.

Guest guest Posted January 1, 2005 Report Share Posted January 1, 2005 Each time the joint capsule is opened, there is generally a slight reduction in range of motion that occurs as a result of peri- operative ligamentous and muscular scarring. Depending on the degree of surgical trauma you may experience this with your revision. It may manifest in a degree of hip flexion loss. The resolve may be a higher seat placement and possibly a higher rise on your handlebars. I was back to cycling 3 weeks post-op after a THR in june '03 with restrictions on flexion, and care with mounting/dismounting for 6 months post-op. > > > > > > I am having a cup revision on 1-4-05.
