Why does my hip replacement hurt?

- Hip replacement surgery is one of the most successful operations, ever. Sometimes though it doesn't feel right, or it's painful. Don't ignore these symptoms. Most of the time it's just your muscles and joints adjusting themselves as you recover from surgery. If you are worried, then ask for advice. You will go through a robust process to find out what's wrong and hopefully reassure you that everything is fine. If it isn't, then we will sort it out.

Mr latham. your videos gives me the confidence to do the Operation. I appreciate the work you do .
Great video Tysvm! I just had THR 6 weeks ago. My identical twin sister had her THL in 2021 & bent over recently and dislocated anteriorly. Can you please discuss risks of dislocation & the aftermath for the patient. Thank you🙏🏻💯
Thank you. I hope you are making a good recovery. I’m sorry to hear about your sister’s hip dislocation. It is a horrible complication. I did a video on this a few years ago but it’s time I updated it. Thanks for the suggestion.
Thank you! I’m very happy to hear that you find them helpful. Your comments keep me wanting to do more!!
As someone who has been watching your videos now needing a hip replacement, which one would you prefer for a 33 years old female, ceramic on ceramic or ceramic on cross linked poly? And which uncemented stem out of Corail and Summit?
Thank you Doctor
Thanks for your comment. Great questions! My advice to anyone who needs a hip replacement is this. Find a surgeon who specialises in hip surgery, and who does hundreds of them every year. Ask them about their case mix; young, older, complex. A well trained, experienced surgeon will use implants with which he or she is very familiar, and techniques that have been refined over years of practice. You are young for hip surgery, so you probably have an underlying condition like dysplasia. This needs careful planning. I did a lot of ceramic on ceramic a few years ago, particularly in younger women. They work well mostly, but they can squeak, and there is a risk of breakage, albeit small. Most of the surgeons I know (and me ) use ceramic on highly cross-linked polyethylene bearings, because they work so well. I prefer uncemented components in young people. I have used Corail type stems in the past but I didn't like the fact they are fully coated, and difficult to remove if things go wrong, like an infection. I use blade stems like the Accolade (Stryker) and Trifit (Corin). I've never used Summit kit, so I'm not familiar with it. Most of the major orthopaedic manufacturers have implants that are very similar. Hope this helps!
@@Lathamhipsurgery indeed your reply really helps a lot, thank you so much for taking the time to not just post informative videos but also replying to comments and advising us, my condition is AVN. I will definitely follow your advice on finding that type of surgeon and implants you mentioned. Thanks again.
