Joint Replacement

For a lot of golfers facing a hip, knee or shoulder replacement, one question matters more than all the others, and it frequently goes unasked in the surgical consultation. Will I get back on the course? People hesitate to ask because it can feel trivial next to the operation itself. It is not trivial. For many people golf is their exercise, their social life and a significant part of how they spend their week. The good news is that this has been studied, and the numbers are considerably more encouraging than most patients expect.
