http://www.healthpages.org/AHP/LIBRARY/HIf I have a hip replacement will I be able to work in my garden?With my 2 hip replacements, I cannot push a shovel into hard ground. I get someone else to do that part and I do the rest. Yes, it will feel like new once you've healed up and rehabbed the new hip. Your ROM should return and the 90 deg. restriction may be modified or even lifted.

There is a lady on one of my gardenning forums who has to use a motor-scooter to get around, but she thoroughly enjoys her plants. One thing she did was build raised beds so she wouldn't have to bend over. She also got a few tools for reaching.
I can't say about digging new ground.
Good luck!
