Hello, I am pretty sure I went into some detail in another post, that left me with no right hip since May 2019. I had a bone graft done on my femur in October 2019. I saw my surgeon on 1/15. The hardware and graft are stable. He said:"Looks good, you can start Walking on it". I need a 2" lift, and a brace for drop foot. I am very active, and have been putting quite a bit of weight on it. I don't have my lift yet. I will write back in to let you know how I am making out. My surgeon is at Duke University Hospital. I saw in my bill that there was a consult with the Mayo Clinic. I expect it will be a gradual transition from crutches to walking. Hopefully I will be able to get a new hip within a year.
