Girdlestone Procedure

Posted by conroy @conroy, Jan 22 12:21pm

Has anyone else had the Girdlestone procedure performed? I had teeth removed since Sepsis supposedly originated in my mouth. I then had my right hip removed. Consequently my right leg is 2.5" shorter. I use a wheelchair and walker. I am interested in other peoples experiences.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles Support Group.

Hi Lauri....I think I found you on FB and I'll send you a friend request! My name is Cindy Showerman Marsh and I'm in Michigan. We can then private message back and forth as we learn more about our disability or whatever you want to call it and offer encouragement. Have a great weekend! Cindy

Hi,
I had the Girdlestone procedure performed in June 2019 after a year's struggle with MRSA in my broken femur that would not heal. I have an 8 cm. LLD that I use a lift on my shoe, but I still need a walker to get around the house, and use a scooter outside. I still get pain in the leg, especially if I walk more than usually.
