I'm scheduled for the MIS anterior surgery on New Year's Eve. My surgeon says 100% weight bearing after the procedure is fine.
With a traditional hip replacement, I imagine most people are pretty sore after and would take many weeks to ramp up to full weight bearing, giving the muscle time to repair, thus giving implants time to graft with bone.
How is it that the implants can take full weight bearing right off the bat? Shouldn't they have time to graft in with bone? Wouldn't it be 'prudent' to allow that time?
I'm relatively young and relatively in shape (43 yrs. old, swimmer and equestrian), and am concerned that I'll push things too much too soon.
Thanks for your thoughts!
