Hi @annie208

I agree with @babs10, this topic has been on my mind since finding out that OP drugs may be a culprit in spontaneous hip fractures. I had a bad fall six weeks ago, landed on my hip, and broke my hand which made this discussion even more timely.

I assumed that perhaps the quality of one’s hip bones might play a hand in whether or not a replacement was feasible; there needs to be bone strong enough to hold the anchor pins…or so it seems.

Although it shouldn’t be a fallback (sorry for using the “f” word) position, hip replacement may be a lifesaver for some of us.

Does anyone have more info or anecdotes to share?

Happy Holidays, Happy Health to all!!

Cheers!
