Curious as to whether you had an osteoporosis issue or was the implant too large?
Am facing my second hip replacement, but good success with the first.
Can’t imagine your pain. So sorry. Hope you can get answers and help.

I was told that one percent of hip replacements end this way.
I too researched for about 2 1/2 years knowing I needed a hip replacement, but wasn’t willing to just dive into it. I read reviews. I got word of mouth recommendations, the surgeon following the second surgery, which he should’ve never done. I should’ve been sent up North to a trauma surgeon Treated me terribly accused me of falling, which I did not. I have a security system around my home and there was no fall. I got out of the car and it broke. It’s surely been a horrible ordeal and destroyed my life, my husband and only child since this happened has both passed away they were my support & advocates. I am seeing my trauma surgeon tomorrow to talk about what the next step is. I just had five level fusion in my neck February 13 and I’m not Kean on another surgery. I feel like all of these surgeries have taken so much out of me I’ve not been able to recover between them. I guess I’m just venting. Thanks for your comment. I too am in need of a right hip replacement, but I just can’t even imagine going through that terror again.
