Video Clip on Anterior THA

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 which were from many different countries. I did pretty well walking the 2 1/2 mile long dock 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!
