I'm sorry you have had such a tough journey. Over time, it has been shown that sometimes the anterior approach isn't best. According to my ortho, the surgeon's field of view is more restricted using the anterior approach, which means it can be tricky to position the new components precisely. It sounds like this might possibly your situation. Have you spoken to either surgeon about what corrective action can be taken?

I spoke with the second surgeon at the time of the evaluation on the right hip. At that time the specific exercises he showed me were the only recommendation.
I have since contacted Mayo Clinic and have received a referral to their PMR department.
