On December 1st I had bilateral total hip replacement surgery - yup that's both of them - and am doing well enough to return to work next week. My surgeon suggests poles instead of crutches or canes to help deal with Vermont snow and ice. Would these work?

Ouch! These would probably work pretty well, but I'd go for poles with some shock absorption. Like these ones: http://www.backcountry.com/store/LEK0073/LEKI-Summit-Antishock-Trekking-Poles-1-Pair.html
