How long will a titanium hip replacement device last?

I had a hip replacement 4 years ago and still jog, play golf and stay very active. My doctor says I can jog up to 3 miles on a treadmill or on the road. Another doctor who specializes in replacing hip replacements says I should not ever jog. Just a little confused.

If it was installed correctly, you will wear out before the hip.

Jogging is a high-impact activity. Golf is an entirely different matter - no impact involved. I must agree with the dr. that told you to never jog. Report It

I have titanium rodes in my back and the Dr told me they would last a life time.

I have had my titanium hip for 17 years. I still work in my yard for hours a day and I stand on my feet for hours as a cashier. Sometimes I'm a little sore, but after a good nights sleep, I'm good to go again.
