My surgeon had done hundreds of hip replacements including my first on the left, However, it did not eliminate him hitting the nerve on the right side. Nothing is full proof unfortunately. My best.

Mine too is a very good surgeon; but I have a "dead" outer thigh, even at 1 month post op. Sometimes I'll get a few twinges; but not often yet. Dreading if/when the feeling does come back cause they say it is awful pain. Nerve endings coming back to life can be extremely painful. Right now I'm still dealing with the soreness and stiffness up and down the entire operated leg. Seems every morning is like starting all over again!!
