The answer is from 'as soon as you are comfortable' to 'never'. The restrictions on bending are due to the possibility of dislocation (head coming out of socket), which is a function of implant position, head (ball) diameter and approach taken at surgery. It is therefore best to seek the advice of your surgeon. I usually tell by patients to be careful for the first six weeks, mindful for the next 6 months, then do anything that they wish after, given that there is always a small risk of dislocation.
