What kind of mobility can I expect with an antibiotic spacer in my hip

So pleased you clarified that @linjane I too have had errors I could not correct. Guess we should immediately post again to clarify. Don't like the looks of the metalwork at all. I assume the top photo is of your new implant? Very neat. Is it as long as the other one? You can see the difference in length left to right. Mine is 30cm long to correct LLD and my leg looks like Swiss Cheese ... must write and get copy of X-rays.

The top photo is a picture of the spacer. Everytime I have an xray I ask then if I can photograph the image. Didn't post the whole of the last xray of my entire hips as it looked a bit too pornographic. Took a lovely outline of all my soft tissue but that shows the different lengths too. Screws again i presume is down to the surgeon. My L. hip (the good one) also has screws!

Ha, meant to say I wonder why they put screws in some ball joints ... I don't have any.
