  • Surgeons hate complications. It's tempting to nudge someone away from having surgery if they are at a high risk of postoperative problems like infection or dislocation. If you've been told that your hip problem is too complicated or risky for surgery, where do you go for help? In this video I discuss this issue and I how I dealt with it in a patient whose hip surgery I did last year. Sometimes you just have to get on with it!

    I had my hip replaced 3 weeks ago and already feel great. My surgeon in Inverness told me that my hip was totally destroyed. He explained so much to me. He said it would be a longer op and for a reason I can't remember the new hip would go in at a slight angle. I have a 15" scar, but I but I don't care. I'm pain free and sleeping so well. Thank you to my Dr. I dont think I should mention his name for privacy reasons. 🤗

    I really wish I could see you as my hip surgeon 3 months after hip replacement surgery and still having pain surgeon says I'm 3 months behind because I didn't get proper physical therapy after surgery. Just doing minor physical therapy on my own walking 50to100steps (and weather) causes very much pain I wish doctor could tell me if there are any complications or not or if this normal in my situation

      Sorry to hear about your experience. It can take several months to recover from surgery, often up to a year or 18 months. If your surgeon believes that there is nothing amiss with the hip then an intensive course of Physiotherapy should help.

    Hi Jeremy, i hope you are well, i donated blood yesterday and the nurse asked why i was limping, i told her i was planning on going private and having a replacement because of the nhs queues. She said they like to wait untill hips are really bad because they want it to last the rest of your life because a second replacement is very problematic. And anyway i should wait 3 months after a donation because it affects bones?????
    When a replacement wears out is it the device? or that the bones have gotten worse?

      Hip replacements are done to relieve intrusive pain. We all differ in how we perceive pain. Don't listen to the nurse! I can't see why you would have to wait 3 months after a donation to have surgery. It's only a pint after all and will quickly be made up again. There are lots of different modes of failure of THR. Wear of the bearing surfaces releases debris that can affect bone integrity, leading to loosening. with modern hip replacements, this can take decades to happen. As we get older, pour bones become weaker, increasing the risk of a fracture around the implant.
