B) Moderately intense activities such as aerobic exercises, running, biking, sexual activities can be resumed two weeks after surgery

C) Heavy lifting and intense activities such as playing tennis, basketball, or volleyball must not begin until two months post op, this time allows the bone to heal properly.
