As I just had surgery to fix a broken hip what am I looking at in recovery time. Ran about 15 to 20 miles a week now obviously nothing.

I’m answering for others who are looking for answers on this topic. I had hip surgery may 2018. I thought I was fully healed but I was wrong, I ended up needing a second surgery oct 2020. I’m now 10 weeks post op and was told 12-18 months recovery. Im at fort Campbell and I went to Vanderbilt orthopedics for my second surgery, 10/10 recommend them.
