The bone is well healed at 6-12 weeks. I allow running at 6 months. I do not use cementless resurfacing. I use Smith and Nephew Birmingham hip.

Dr. Rogerson

I think it takes 6-8 weeks for the bone to effectively grow into the acetabular component but I restrict high impact activities longer than that to avoid stress fracture in the femoral neck in patients that have not been able to be active for some time.  if the patient has forced themselves to be impacting right up to the time of surgery like Gary then I would let them get back sooner.  In general, I hold off the patient from high impact heel strike for 4-6 months post-op.  They can run in a pool and jump rope sooner.  Each case is individualized based on the patient's bone quality at the time of surgery.
