Want to hear positive things about anterior hip replacement

I had a partial hip replacement in july of 2018, due to an accident. I was in Canada on vacation at a Roads Scholar program in Trois-Rivers,Canada. The Dr. chose a partial as she said I didn't have arthritis in the connection? At the time I was 82. Fast forward and I'm 87 with arthritis in that hip. I think she did a great job, but there were a lot of problems due to my being in a foreign country, and when I returned home (10) days later, some drs would not take my case. If I were able to chose, I would have an anterior operation. The people I know who have had them seem to walk better. Whatever you do, be sure to do a lot of P T!!!! As the saying goes, "just get back on the horse"

I’m so sorry to hear that you’ve had such a hard time. My neighbor was about your age when she had a total hip replacement. She is now 92. Goes swimming every day at the Y and she has all her marbles. I’ve always been afraid that I would get sick in a foreign country and not get the excellent m focal care that I am used to. Since I’ve never left the country except for an overnight stay in Canada 30 years ago. Some of the best surgeons are affiliated with medical schools and take on cases that others might shy away from. Just a thought.
