As with any major surgical procedure, post-operative complications can occur following hip resurfacing surgery. To follow is a list of precautions which must be taken to prevent any complications occurring the first 6-8 weeks.

1. No heavy lifting
2. Do not twist or squat while lying or standing
3. Avoid extreme movements of the new hip
4. Do not cross your legs
5. Do not lift your knee higher than your hip on the operated side

You should not attempt sporting activities (including Golf) other than swimming until given the all clear by your surgeon.
