I am recovering from total hip replacement on the same hip twice because I needed a revision surgery when my hip dislocated 2 hours after my surgery. I’ve been given the dual mobility ball in the socket apparatus. I’m in my fifth week after the surgery. I’m hoping I will have more range of motion once everything heals I’m praying that I won’t fall down on the ice in the winter time or have any other potential dislocation again as I wouldn’t want to be opened up to have it fixed. I wasn’t crazy about having the dual mobility apparatus, but I was told that this is the best that they have to stabilize my hip. Thank you for your informative video.
I'm also a nurse and my first right THR was with 1mm ball which popped out. Next surgery they put in a 12mm ball 4 weeks out it popped out. Meeting with the doctor next Friday to see what to do. They were way more painful than child birthing. My right leg is longer than my left, but my pelvis is twisted as well. Working on my exercises as well.
🎉4am .loud pop pain.i jumped up and walked slowly .I sat bk down when I stood again. My leg didn't bear weight. However, I'm standing now.Tks Now 4 I info.i jumped up so fast, and I was scared that maybe I did pop it back.I was told to wear shoes ..wow IVE NEVER HEALED. TK U.i was injured during covid. NO one could be with me. It's hard to make and remember decisions in trauma ❤🎉
Great video and explanation, Doctor. At what point in the recovery period does the risk of dislocation approach "normal", ie the same risk as people with normal, unoperated joints?
Good Lord! I want to ride my horses after a hip replacement surgery. There are THOUSANDS of people who are doing that with no luxation. Is there a particular implant that is better for horsebackriders??
9/24. Video was 7 mo ago. I’ve had the second anterior in one week and I’m 8weeks post surgery. I fear greatly another dislocation and considering revision surgery. Causing the dislocations was a very sight every day slight turn to open a drawer! I am under conservative treatment and recovering at home with mobility restrictions. Is a revision surgery inevitable after two dislocations? I feel I will never be able to perform normal ADL’s without marked restrictions.
You need to give yourself time to heal. This is a major surgery, slow down, listen to your body. It is smarter than we sometimes think. I wish the best for you. I am 4 months post surgery and doing better, and better. (I walked like a zombie, kept myself straightforward when up, it gets better).
How long does the risk of dislocation last? Does the security of it improve with time and Physio? I will be on my own after the operation & managing my own recovery, I’m 70. 😊
Anterior approach has less chance of dislocation, but I did it to mine. PT, take it easy, get those muscles strong surrounding the new joint...9 months baby yourself. If your body says stop, listen. I wish the best!
@@linafrandin8641 Thank you for the information. The hospital has sent a booklet and I’m doing those exercises. Unfortunately the hospital is a 100 Mile round trip so I can’t just pop in.
Hello sir i have a posterior right leg thr last week. My doctor said if my leg rotate outward it's fine. but i can't rotate my leg inward too much, the risk of dislocation is will be high. And i'm also can't put weight on my right leg for 6 week. Is is true that if i have posterior approch, rotate outward is safe?
Excellent discussion. I had a THR, and through my own " stupidity", I dislocated anterior less than 1 week post op. I am an operating room nurse and specialized in total joint replacements.. Oh, the irony😂 Haven't had a bit of trouble since, except perhaps additional muscle weakness that I had to resolve, due to dislocation.
Hey Linda, Circulator Nurse here, I partially dislocated 3 weeks post op, trying to tie a shoe. I feel like an idiot! Are you OK now? I am back in bed! OHMYGOSH! Nurses are bad patients! 🤭
You're a nurse ss well? 😂 I was turning to get lotion after showering and POP. The discomfort, ie excruciating pain, was horrid. Happened on a Thursday night, and I was back in regular therapy on Monday. My own fault! Hope you do well. Strengthen that muscle!
@@lindajacobs7971 Yes! I am a nurse, a non compliant one at times! Thank you for the update, I have hope! I learned my lesson, my new hip is the "Golden Egg"! 😅
Hi sir I had hip replacement 3 weeks before but from last 3-4 days im having extreme pain in my thigh i think it is called groin area…..but i feel my foot and leg too…I can walk and can move my leg as i want…..is it possible my hip replacement is dislocated?

Thank You for the excellent explanation Dr. Rosen. I'm 5 weeks post-op and continue to be careful with leg rotation and bending.

Sorry to hear. Hopefully they have a solution, otherwise never a bad idea to get a second opinion.
Kathleen, I am sorry to hear this. I hope by now you are better, full recovery! Compliance🥰
