Rotsa ruc grasshopper! I went for my second Hip revision because the Socket Pocket eventually wore out after nearly 18 more years in my profession, Painting Professionally. First one was from a gate hitting my Ball Joint head where the solitary artery feeds it. At the time it was painful and the abused artery eventually bursted and the Head died. The orthopedic surgeon then was quite Excellent and ONLY a narrow scar marred my thigh. Legs were EQUAL LENGTH. After recovery I'd went onna Archery Elk hunt in Unit 5 & Harvested a 350 Point Bull that took 50th place in the Boon and Crockett record book. I digress. My second Hip surgery got me into a wheelchair. My mobility is MIA. Pro Bono infection as the free gifting required months of intravenous IV. The $30K custom prothesis was unused because after a year betwixt the CT scan and the surgery it didn't fit. That's in 2021 and I'm STILL looking for a competent surgeon to give me my Mobility Back. I Too have no HIP. SAFE travels brudder past 2022. I got offered a Shoe Lift to compensate. Hadn't taken the offer because the Second one shoulda Gone Right as my First was. I'm just a citizen sans surgery skills. My opinion only.

I asked my dr if I could do a replacement in the future and was told there would be too much scare tissue.
