Hi again, Sue - If you have a moment for another couple questions I would appreciate it and will happily accept your offer to review my component questions when I draft them. First, the surgeon plans to resect upper part of my greater troch and release the piriformis. He also plans to repair any soft tissue that he sees that needs repairing. As mentioned, he plans to remove my cup that is impinging posteriorly and replace it with the dual mobility (I think because I am active and want to return to tennis; plus I do not want to be lengthened further because my soft tissues feel so taut as is - I was lengthened 9 mm last time, but I am only 5'2"). I was wondering if you could share what the recovery is like after a posterior revision surgery similar to the one I described? I had an anterior approach before with no restrictions. I'm just wondering what your thoughts are on the speed of recovery from a revision? Also, I presume my current stem will be used, but was wondering if you knew how that would work/fit with a dual mobility component that would have a different type of ball? Thanks very much, Natalie
