HI, @mamm - welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I've merged your post with this discussion, "Questions about total hip replacement," so you could read what others have said about their experiences and talk with others who have discussed similar surgeries as your sister.

I'm sorry to hear about your sister's tendon cut being discovered too late to fix.

I'm hoping members like @carolg @mamie @mrfish will have some thoughts for you with your sister's case. @predictable @lynnmorgan0916 and @bobbielafleur may also have some input.

Will you also share some of the additional problems she is dealing with due to the tendon issue?

Thank you so much. My sister is 63 and now has complications that may end up putting her in a wheelchair later in life. The only way I can discribe is that she waddles like a duck. Being that the tendon was cut and time elapsed, it was too late to reattach it to the muscle. It has become very painful and there seems to be nothing that can be done for her. She also has sciatica. I wish I knew what to do to help her.
