    Revision THR Anyone Here Had a Second Hip Revision? (Third Hip Surgery)

    I am 81 and had one revision in 2002 on TLHR from 1992. Last August, I had a dislocation, and the surgeon I saw recommended waiting and seeing if it dislocates again before doing a revision. The X-ray shows the cup is worn, and Dr. feels the ball-head implant was too small for the amount of...

    Revision THR Anyone Here Had a Second Hip Revision? (Third Hip Surgery)

This...

    I would like to hear from anyone who has had a hip revision after a dislocation of the 1st revision, which was in 2002; the initial TLHR was in 1993. So the revision has lasted 23 years until three weeks ago when it dislocated as I got ready to paddle out for a surf session. It was a very...

    Retracted Bicep Stump

    I had Rotator Cuff surgery in December of 2021 (8 months ago), the long bicep tendon had a full tear and the surgeon cleaned the stump on the lower end and let the upper stump alone. It now has become a problem (the upper stump) as it seems that it has traveled up between the acromion and the...
