Posted by amallasch @amallasch, Dec 17, 2020

Hi well 2 weeks ago I dislocated again ! 3rd since last op last year in April... but 7 times bow in total with 3 surgery’s in last 2 years . So in February I am having the liner replaced and a cap liner put in . Has anyone had this done because of frequent dislocations ?and has it worked ? And has it felt different? And lastly go’s forbid has anyone’s come out after that op and what damage ? Thanks ang

Two years after injury while gardening on slope, lots of arthritis, decided to go with THR in March 2022. Three months later, I've had 5 hip dislocations. My ortho doc on vac til mid-July.

Anyone else with excessive dislocations. What can I expect to be done next to get this under control?

Sorry, I meant dislocations, not locations.

Hi @viatroy7 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You'll see that I moved your post to this conversation: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/dislocated-again/?pg=3#comment-719913 so you could connect with others.
Does your doctor have a nurse practitioner that you can see in the interim while your doctor is out?

He does. Thanks, hadn't thought of that. Im thinking I should have another doc take a look at my situation. Time for a second opinion?

I was waiting for what others would say. Has there been any research to understand what is going on? If not, I would certainly seek a second opinion. It might be difficult to find someone who will take you on, so maybe look for a doc who specializes in revisions or complicated cases. A teaching hospital might be a place to start.

An excellent physical therapist I would imagine could be of good help
