What to do after multiple surgeries from hip replacement?

While I had my knees replaced (hips will come eventually....) it is important to get a surgeon who specializes in revision surgeries. You mentioned your first surgeon was 62 and is now consulting.
It's not a rule and it's not ageism, but I like surgeons in their late 30s, early 40s with a good pedigree and a good number of surgeries performed. Younger surgeons just seem to be on top of their game as far as recent/new techniques.

A question, I was in thearpy almost 8 months. 9 months out of TKR. Is there anyway my leg will ever be straight and out of pain. So much thearpy, exercising at home and at gym. Leg is so not straight. Dr. Did a mua and set Me farther back at 4 months out of surgery. I feel very hopeless and helpless. I have changed Dr. He says nothing he can do about my leg.

I agree. My revisionist is about 40. His parents are orthopedic surgeons at Baptist Hospital in NC. I have had both age groups and all were good except this one. I didn’t do enough research on him. He was supposed to be the top surgeon for sports medicine for all the local colleges. Should’ve dug deeper
