Ha Ha, my surgeon didn't give an opinion either. I also have another appointment with a new ortho surgeon next week for a "first opinion". Here's to hoping we get some answers!

Just met with another Ortho doc for 'second opinion' on my post-op THR surgery. I learned quite a bit that my surgeon didn't tell me: 1) I have some detached muscles due to the type of procedure (lateral entry), 2) I have 2 screws holding the new socket in place! 3) My hip replacement leg is now 1/2" shorter than the other 4) My new hip is also a 1/2" further to the side than my other hip. All that said, the new Ortho doc thought I should continue my ART therapy and keep doing PT exercises. Prognosis is good for now, but need a follow-up in a couple of months.
