Thats bad news dude
But dont despair do they think it will mend or is it spare parts time?
My Dad had his first replacement at 63 and was doing gym stuff exercises with his local football team for physio in 3 mths then he was right as ninepence. 
Remember your only as old as your mind thinks you are!
Good luck

my dad had a bad accident at 23 years old and shattered a lot of bones, this lead to athritis (sp) at a very early age, he had his first hip replacement in h is late 20's and has since had 14 hip replacements, and a knee replacement, we nicnamed him the bionic man.

after the first replacement he led pretty much a normal life, still kicking a ball around in the garden with my brother etc, that hip lasted 15 years and was told if he had taken things a bit easier it would have lasted alot longer.

I've had the pleasure of observing a total hip replacement procedure in theatre dude. They are strong and you will ride again dude.

My best friend is an Orthapedic surgeon...he replaces them all the time,he says the same as above....they are good replacements and you should have as normal a life after a replacement as before...especially being so young.
Good luck matey
