I had anterior approach hip replacement done in July. My hip deterioration was the result of a birth defect known as DHD (developmental hip dysplasia). I had surgery when I was 4 years old to create a socket for that hip. Now I'm 40, and that hip looked really bad. The femoral head was totally flat, and the socket was worn flat as well. During the surgery, the surgeon encountered scar tissue and the femoral bone was beginning to perforate just a little. The surgeon was very skilled, and managed to get the implant installed. I was toe-touch for two weeks as a precaution because of the femur, but was able to walk without aids after that. I returned to work after my short term disability ran out (30 days) without issue. I could have returned a week earlier if I wanted to. My surgeon was Dr. Heinrich in Austin. He was excellent. If you need hip replacement, don't wait too long! Anterior approach is the way to go!
I had an anterior replacement of my left hip in December 2007. I had a minimally invasive total hip replacement of my right hip in May 2006. The anterior procedure was far superior to the posterior procedure because I have had no post-op problems and in fact, I cant even tell I have had the procedure. The procedure was done by Joseph Locker, M.D. in West Marion Community Hospital, Ocala, FL. Dr. Locker was very skilled and competent. My surgery was complete at 1:30 PM and I was walking at 3:00 PM the same day. I could have resumed playing golf 2 1/2 weeks later but at the request of my doctor I waited 4 weeks. I now play 3 or 4 times a week. I have had continuing problems with bursitis in my right hip which was done using the posterior procedure. Thank you Dr. Locker
I had a deteriorating right hip due to osteoarthritis for a couple of years and was taking anti-inflammatory meds which did help quite a bit. However, the hip was going downhill fast and the meds were less and less effective.
In 2007 I planned a trip to Newport R.I. to see and participate in the "Tall Ship" Sailing Festival. My husband and I booked a berth on the Arabella and we sailed the area around Newport. The festival itself included a lot of walking - up and down the dock to view the many ships. I did pretty well walking the 2 1/2 mile dock area stopping to sit and rest on benches along the route.
When I arrived at Boston Airport for our flight home, the hip crashed - big time. I was envious of people riding around in wheel chairs, I was in pain and hobbling. When I got home, I figured the arthritis flare would subside as it always had before. It didn't. The time had arrived and I would consider hip replacement surgery. I did a lot of research on the Internet, and spoke to people who had replacement surgery. It looked like the anterior approach was the way to go for me. I liked the thought of a fairly fast recovery, and no movement restrictions after surgery.
I found Dr. Jos Locker in Ocala. He performed my anterior approach in September, 2007. My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. Recovery was so fast, I was 95% within 2 weeks and could have walked the dock area in Newport without using those conveniently placed benches!
Let's face it; hip replacement surgery is no walk in the park to begin with Hip replacement Thailand
