I may be looking at getting a hip replacement at some point in the next couple of years, given the way mine is going. I was wondering if any of you have experiences with getting back to elk hunting after THR. The surgeon I talked to didn't seem phased -- he's more worried about contact sports, running and jumping, and NOT too worried about carrying a pack and gun. But I'm prone to stepping in holes and falling on ice and tripping over stuff, and there's always the possibility of needing to carry a load of meat out of a canyon. Do people get back out there with a fake hips? With what kinds of limitations?
To the OP,
I hope we have given you some good info here.
Yes, you can hunt anything you want, ask for a S-Rom prosthesis and you have the best and it would appear one of the longest lasting according to the abuse I have witnessed first hand.
All the best to you,
John
