I'd recommend speaking to your physician and surgeon about it, and also possibly whoever is managing your rehabilitation.

Have you already commenced normal levels of exercise that is putting the area under stress?

That is to ensure that it is safe for you to commence training, especially since you're a year out from major surgery.

Completely agree , it's a major surgery & better to be on the safe side & check with your doctor first

I'd say if you are a year out, and are doing daily routine things, then I don't see why you couldn't start back up. You need to listen to your body when you train, and just pace yourself, and test the waters as you go forward.
