Does anyone know if you can go to the gym and lift weights with a radial head prosthesis?
Hello. Does anyone know if you can go to the gym and lift weights with a radial head prosthesis? I read all of Google, but nowhere did I get any information about how much the prosthesis can be loaded. Is it 2 kg or is it possible to live a normal life without restrictions?

If I were you, I would go to a physiotherapist for an answer. I would take all the documents and "papers" regarding the health condition and this endoprosthesis and go to the good physio. If necessary, up to two to see if they say the same.
Unfortunately, I do not know about endoprostheses, are they of different strength and quality, do all patients get similar?
I suspect that you will be able to exercise, because medicine is moving forward and the endoprosthesis should probably not be significantly weaker than our bones ... This is just my guess, but I think that you will be able to exercise both with your own body weight and with additional loads after prior consultation with a physiotherapist and perhaps a doctor to dispel doubts.

Yes, you can go to the gym and lift weights after a radial head endoprosthesis. However, it is recommended to consult with a doctor or physiotherapist to determine any possible limitations or recommendations regarding the intensity of the training. In the case of an endoprosthesis, it is important to avoid excessive strain, so gradual increase of loads and appropriate medical support and consultations are important. Remember that each case may be different, so it is worth consulting with a professional who is properly familiar with your medical situation.
