I would be grateful to hear about his recovery from the Girdlestone procedure. I will soon learn whether my hip replacement is infected and needs to be removed, and I want to know about all options. Thank you

Hello @jbro. I am tagging a few members who have talked about having the girdlestone procedure here to come back and share their experiences with that surgery: @joeval and @geek_girl have both discussed this procedure and may be able to share a bit more about it.

@jbro, did your surgeon discuss this surgery with you as an alternative if the infection does indeed reach your joint?
