Thanks so much for your reply. My hip dislocated again which was the fourth time it’s dislocated in the last 3 months.
I have a surgical revision scheduled for February 10th. I’m actually scared a bit.
I’m glad you found a surgeon with whom you were comfortable. Thanks for telling me your story. I hope you have nothing but good progress ahead of you.
I may try to get the name of your surgeon, if the revision of my hip replacement is not successful. Thanks again

@lisamelanie What a painful nightmare. My surgeon is in Colorado- Fort Collins/Loveland. He's performed over 9,000 anterior hips. He absolutely has a different perspective of my situation going into this next surgery. Hope your revision helps! Make SURE to ask about leg length when surgery is done. My surgeon waited until first post-op 2 weeks later to measure the discrepancy from pre and post surgery x-rays. Gave me lifts for inside of shoe of short leg [they come in different heights]. Lifts do help a bit but aren't a long-term solution. He's saying he'll make legs the same length with second hip.
BTW after surgery, before first appt, I found 2 different shoes [thick sole and thin sole] to attempt to balance lengths. Good luck with your surgery. Prayers & hugs.
