No. My left hip replacement was about six years ago and I have had no such problems.

Feces can happen no matter how good the surgeon BUT are you sure that you have the right surgeon?

@steveinarizona I had a well known professor that specialized in complex hip revisions surgery at OHSU . However the techniques used to remove the primary hip components are not long lasting. The cerclage metal ring used to hold the femur bone in place after osteotomy is well known to fail in 10 years . It’s been 9 years since the 2017 revision and my leg has rotated to the left visually seen and also compression on the nerve now experiencing numbness in my foot a pre curser to drop foot.
