You can do anything you want to do. As long as you don't have an underlying bone problem such as osteoporosis. They are a godsend for these patients who've dealt with bad Arthritis for years. Most people will be able to do much more than they could before the surgery.

∙ 12y agoThere is no reason what so ever that you couldn't run, jump, climb, ski, surf, cycle, play Golf, football or practically any sport after having a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR).
A Birmingham Hip Resurfacing is a bone conserving alternative to a Total Hip Replacement (THR) is hip resurfacing. The BHR is a bone conserving implant aimed at young active patients who want there quality of life back!
Patients who have had BHRs have gone on to run marathons, climb mountains and much more due to the success of their implants.
Instead of replacing the old worn out joint, a BHR resurfaces the femoral head with a Cobalt-Chrome component and inserts a Cobalt-Chrome cup into the acetabular socket. This metal on metal technique last longer and has less wear than the traditional Metal on Plastic THR.
By conserving the bone at the femoral head, revisions should they be needed are much simplier than they are if a THR has been carried out at first.
The BHR was pioneered by Derek McMinn in Birmingham, UK. The implant has a high success rate currently at 97% at 13 years which compared to similar statistics for a THR, they are staggering. See the McMinn Centre website for more details!

∙ 8y agoNo jarring sports...my doctor said that swimming , walking & biking are good to do.
You do not want to wear out the new parts with anything that will stress it too much.
You can if you want to. But it is not advisable. Running is an activity where you get repetitive impacts on your knees. Although nothing would happen earlier, to prevent the loosening of the knee joint and also to last the new knee as long as possible it should be avoided.
If you like to do exercise you can replace running with jogging or swimming kind of activities.
