That really depends on your present level of flexibility and mobilization.
I'd personally reccomend either Bujinkan Ninpo Taijutsu (if there are any qualified instructors in your neck of the woods that is), Yang or Chen family style Taijiquan (Ta'i Ch'i C'huan), Aikido (preferably Yoshinkan), or something other than silly Tae Kwon Do or some ridiculous circus performer stuff that'll force you into 720 degree spinning back-kicks.....
Have fun, but those would be my reccomendations due to them being combat effective if taught correctly, and none of those arts being over-the-top in silliness or belt ranking nonsese.

to begin i would also suggest taijiquan.
it's low impact and will help in the healing process.
taijiquan is an elegant moving meditation whose slow flowing movements are performed with an emphasis on correct body mechanics and generation of qi (bio energy).
in clinical studies, taijiquan has been found to improve balance and flexibility, reduce harmful stress hormones and manage blood pressure.
taijiquan is also one of the most formidable chinese martial arts, particularly appealing to women and older students, as it employs softness and yielding to defeat an attacker with his own strength and exertion.
i had injured my back years ago, during training and although i didn't need extensive surgery, had been attending regular pt sessions to help the pain. then i began taking taijiquan and my pain is non existent. after i began taijiquan, i even felt good enough to spar again sans pain. it's a real eye opener because it's not only amazing for your health, but it is by far one of the most brutal martial arts i've ever seen. with bone shattering locks, strikes and throws...
it takes time to learn as a martial art, but no time to feel the health benefits of taijiquan. i would definitely recommend it to anyone who is recovering from an injury or has limited mobility.
hope this helps!
~*good luck*~

You should make note of all your limitations. If a teacher tells you that they cannot train you because of any of them move on to the next school. The danger with this is that some teachers are only into making money so they will tell you "yes" no matter what.
Observe classes, try a couple out.
Do what feels right.
I train with my physical obstacle and I help train others who have physical obstacles as well. It can be done.

Tai Chi would be good. I wouldn't risk much else without talking to your doctor.
Good Luck
