    THR acetabular cup problems

    Thank you for your words of encouragement. Beside the ongoing issues on the anterior side of my hip I also have glute issues (see attached). It looks like the muscle wasn't reattached!! Can it be reattached after 3 years? This wasn't supposed to happen

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Thought I would give an update for those who may find themselves in my position. After surgery the fellow of Dr Melnic, Wayne Brian Cohen-Levy, did the operation. After the surgery he came to my room and said there is an 8-10% chance of complications without saying anymore. He isn't experienced...

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Thank you Myglasshalffull. I agree! @Jamie Before approaching the surgeon it would be helpful to have more info so am hoping you can help. I was told by a PT at Spaulding Rehab in Boston that the obturator internus is causing my pain and difficulty with walking (over 2 yrs out). It is my...

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Hi Jamie, The surgeon is Christopher Melnic. However, I was operated on by his fellow? Wayne Brian Cohen-Levy. At my yearly visit I was told by Judith Walsh, NP that the groin pain was likely a hernia. Even though I didn't think so I had a CT scan to rule it out. The physical Therapist in...

    THR acetabular cup problems

    I left my appointment with some unanswered questions leaving me unhappily resigned and confused. The MARS (Magnetic artifact reduction Software) MRI showed thickening of the indirect and direct rectus femoris head. I was told this was likely the explanation for groin pain which gets worse with...

    Mojo333 Thanks for the link and info. I have an appt next week with the surgeon. I think this is going to be about the "the squeaky wheel getting the grease", if at all possible, or suffering in silence! I sure hope it isn't the latter!

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Hello all! Since posting it's been about 2 yrs since my right THA. During recovery I tore my adductors and had a terrible time with recovery. I thought I had bursitis but a recent MARS (magnetic artifact reduction software) MRI indicated there is no “bursal collection”. The Mass General surgeon...

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Thanks again I do have another question in regards the first THR. I am probably going to have a tenotomy and need advice. I met with a surgeon who is known for doing non-invasive laparoscopic surgery to discuss having a tenotomy. He said it is best to cut the psoas where it rubs the cup because...

    THR acetabular cup problems

    Thank you so much for your thoughts! I'm doing poorly. I had another THR for the right hip done on 9/21/20. I had a sharp pain when stretching and was x-rayed for a possible displacement. I may have dislodged a nerve that was cut after being trapped after a hernia operation (or not) but am...
