@popolopo I too am sorry to hear of your continuing issues - what do the docs say are causing it, since this ie extremely unusual for hip replacements.

@lgal Please don't be frightened by one person's poor result - many of us have had successful hip replacements. In my experience, the best predictors of success are an extremely experienced ortho, being in the best possible physical and mental state for surgery, and following the recovery guidelines. I also believe that you need at least a couple of real PT sessions to get you on track - most who have had long term hip issues have a limp or other gait issue that need to be addressed and corrected for the best results.

After a period of good time, I had a poor result from my first hip replacement surgeries, but it was because of bad implants (no longer on market), no PT and a bad doctor. Once I had a new surgeon, replacement implants and proper PT, life has been wonderful for the past 8 years.

Be sure to choose an ortho who keeps up on the latest techniques and does MANY hip replacement surgeries.
