Hi,
I'm new to the boards and would like a little advice.
My partner broke his acetabulum in August last year in a mountain biking accident. He has had it pinned and plated but there is still a slight risk of a total hip replacement dependent on his progress in the next couple of years.
We have both always been very outdoorsy and used to do a lot of walking. I'm doing the Yorkshire Three Peaks in August with work and I think he's a bit sad that he won't be able to do it too and he has no idea whether he will ever be able to do much strenuous hill walking again.
My question is, has anybody got any inspirational stories about bad hip injuries and their impact on hill walking?
Thanks very much,
Chris
