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 to prevent any complications occurring.

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
