Is A Hip Surgery Advisable While On Plavix For Heart Attack?

I just had a MRI on my aching hip and they said there is a significant labral tear. The doctor recommended surgery and my question is, can I have surgery while I am on Plavix for a recent heart attack. Also, what kind of recovery time frame would that be.
