Hi
I'm 59 and had my girdle stone resection in 2018 after two life threatening infections of my right hip. I had three hip replacements - the second and third causing the infections.
It's a life altering procedure I'm not going to kid you. I will always need assistance walking whether it be cuff crutches or walker - inside and outside of the house.
However, there are some people who are able to walk without assistance primarily due to less of a severe leg length deficiency. My deficiency is 4 inches.
My advice to you is do your research. Go on YouTube see the videos. You'll get a better idea if this surgery is for you.
I wish you much luck. Never give up 👍🙏
