Family Practitioner Questions Yoga

Is yoga advisable after a hip bone surgery?

My mother in law underwent a hip bone surgery and wants to go back to doing yoga. Is it really advisable?

That is a question best answered by her Orthopedist. As a family physician, I would think that if it was a total hip there would be a very high risk of dislocation. If a fracture repair with screws or pins, I think it would probably be safe, but again, I refer you to her Orthopedist and or her physical therapist.
