Ouch, a harsh result after a self made come back. I've several friends who climb aswell as ride who've had the self same debate. I'm no expert, but if it helps I'll ask them to send me their thoughts and send your way.
My Dad had a similar debate, though significantly late in life, and to be honest, it's possibly the best decision he made. For the first month or so, movement was tricky as the op was early January and together with two steel hips, he was'nt what you'd call confident on his feet, but fully recovered with excellent physio and all is very much good.
Hope it helps......
