    Revision April 2017 / Fed Up

    Thank you @Josephine My walk and gait is shocking. I rock all over the place, fatigued sets in so quickly and pain increases as the day goes on unless I stop doing things. Josephine, I am now out of all options with the consultant saying he will not take me back into theatre . . .? I have...

    @Josephine Hi it's ok, you have already seen this xrays months ago and supported me with speaking with consultant about none union trochanter, post 27th July. I only popped this xray up in reply to someone else question from my post on 15th October . The registrar said calcification will fill...

    Revision THR Two stage revision

    So many times when I read our posts, some problems stem from consultants not listening to patients or their families, they way they dismissed your husbands pain, is so so bad. I have my fingers crossed for you both, at last you seem to be with the right team so hopefully heading in the right...

    Revision April 2017 / Fed Up

    Layla, Mojo333 Thank you for your kind words and support. Sorry the internal fixation plate that was used when I had my hip revision in April 2017, which this year, screws snapped and then the plate kicked out and frayed around the top of the trochanter, this is the metal work I mean, hip...

    Revision April 2017 / Fed Up

    Hello been a while since I dropped in and worse still not been offering any support to anyone, lost my get-up-and-go. So all metal work out, consultant was not in clinic at six week post op, his registrar saw me and told me that calcification can set down in the gap formed by the non-union...

    THR Frustrated

    Strange how at times when surgery gets near, the " hip" settles down making us doubt if it's bad enough what we like. I doubted myself twice recently postponing some metal work removal , only to quickly regret it as started up again as soon as I delayed. Good luck :good-bad:

    THR teenager hip replacement after SUFE

    Just read your whole thread, wow what a journey , but heart warming reading your last post. What a great group this is. So much relies on getting good information, good support as it's all a mind field, especially for anything out of the norm. Good luck for your futures xxx

    Revision April 2017 / Fed Up

    I think I must be misunderstanding what has happened and what needs to be done next. So the plate was nothing to do with what your suggestion as in the need for internal fix of screws or wires. I thought the plate was to support the revision and support the healing of the trochanter. I am...

    @Josephine Mr Gregson . Robert Jones Agnes Hunt. He has operated on me numerous times, including hip replacements , he skilled in the Dysplastic hip. Josephine I have just had the plate and wires taken out as they had broken, so do I need to ask for another to go in . ?

    Revision April 2017 / Fed Up

    @Josephine Hi I copied your post from another thread about my situation. I did not want to take over her thread, and thought it better within mine. Feeling rather scared now. Have I really misunderstood or have I been misinformed? I can't believe how I have ended up like this following the...
