Thank you for posting that. Sorry this is reviving an older thread, but ...

In one of the comments on Carmichael's posted training plan, a dual mobility implant is suggested. It seems like one of the major concerns for cyclists is the possibility of post-operative dislocation, and from what I've read so far, the dual mobility implant pretty much eliminates this complication. My wife is looking at this in the fairly near future, and just had the surgical consultation. It seems like the default assumption is that the patient is a sessile couch potato. The consult reminded me of some of the reasons I prematurely terminated med school.
