hello darling,
good to see you back here and you apparently are doing great ---
I don't think I can answer your question ... what kind of sports did you do before your hip journey ? normal precautions, I guess ...
anything in particular you want to know ?
maybe other members will come with advise -
big warm hug

Have you spoken with your surgeon about this ....
Personally, I want my hip to last as long as possible so I will avoid contact sports or sports with extreme speed.
It might be worth looking for a sorts therapist to develop a physio/exercise program to strengthen all your surrounding muscles ...
Best wishes.

My surgeon told me not to play in league hockey games due to the contact, however, he said it was ok to play in pick up type games, much less contact.
The only life time precaution he told me was not take up any new sports.
I play enough !
Have a great day !!

hi rich,
im interested and encouraged by what you have written.
im also hoping to return to, i think what you term "pick up" sessions. in my case it will be rugby. i dont have any intention of playing full contact, but as im sure is the case with hockey, there is always the occasional knock (if there wasnt, it wouldnt be competitive!??)
so, may i ask, when you returned to your sport, please. best wishes,
chris (thr june 6th 2016)

I had my first THR in Jan 2013, I went back to "pick up" hockey games, which were much less competitive than league play. I would compare it to all-star games in American Pro sports where this is not much defense played. I waited 11 months before I asked the surgeon and he gave me the ok, much to the dismay of my wife !!! Yes, there is some contact, but I pretty much knew who to stay away from.
I was still playing "pick-up" until this past Dec, but I sprained my ankle badly playing tennis of all things. If I was going to get hurt, rather be while playing hockey !! It was getting harder and harder at that point to play up to my standards so I stopped. The advil etc... I was taking for my new bad hip was not as effective as it was with other hip before THR.
I did start playing tennis/raquetball 3-4 months after my first THR,
obviously no contact. My play improved greatly in all my sports with my first new hip.
Right now I am 4 weeks and 3 days post op. My physical therapy/p/t is going great. I will start swimming at 6 weeks and hope to play tennis/raquetball in about 3.5 months.
I would assume I am older than you ? I am 56.
Good Luck in Rugby etc....
