Thank you! Yes I still have my hip in but UCSF is telling me that my only option is to remove the hip since this is the second attempt to eradicate the infection. And since I don’t have much bone left I don’t even know what that looks like. So I reached out to HSS in New York ( I went five years ago) and one of the doctors there mentioned this tumor prosthesis. But I just can’t find much information on it. Thank you so much for all the information and is this something that the mayo clinic currently performs on patients?

The tumor prosthesis sounds like a rare solution. If I needed more info, I would ask the doctor who mentioned it.
