I am 50 years old and I had a kidney transplant ten years ago and because of the Prednisone I have to take, I have avascular necrosis. The last few years was very hard. I barely can walk and the pain is intolerable. So I decided to have the anterior approach but I have some doubts about it.
From what I read on this approach, its better than the traditional hip replacement but some doctors told me that in the first 5 years after the surgery there is a 15% chance of nerve injury and of revision in the first 5 years. Is it true?
I am so confused I don't know what to do. Which method is better for the long term. Please help me. I have to decide soon. I prefer the anterior approach because the recovery is better, there are no restrictions, no difference in leg length and the pain is less.
Any suggestion will be gratitude. Many health to all of you
