    THR Other side - January 2021

    Roll on 2021 @Mojo333 xxx I’m so glad you feel amazing now , that’s inspiring. I spoke with my surgeon yesterday and he has decided that we don’t go ahead with the other THR. He said it’s best to wait until I have been infection free for one year. It makes total sense. Better to be safe than...

    Hip Infection* 2 stage revision with osteotomy

    Hip Infection* Prostalac articulating spacer left in permanently???

    All the best @CobyBlack for finding a good surgeon. That must have been a shock indeed. I would have had the same reaction. It is interesting though, as I have read through this forum a few people keeping there spacers as a definitive solution. It’s not something I could live with though and are...
