    THR Constraint Liner - Noise

    Just an update, I had a MRI and this is what they found: Overlying the right greater trochanter along the course of the healed posterior lateral approach, there is an apparent fluid collection measuring up to 6.9 cm. This could reflect postoperative seroma, however this may communicate with the...

    THR 19 months later and still struggling

    NO I had to have another surgery to repair the tendon and was converted to a THR with constrained liner.

    THR 19 months later and still struggling

    For those of you experiencing weakness, let me share my story. I went for a resurfacing revision to have the cup replaced. I was in horrible pain after surgery (this wasn't my first rodeo), the leg never regained strength, couldn't do stairs, felt unsteady when doing things like shaving my legs...

    THR I am the Storm

    Wow, that's some artwork there! It makes sense, they basically rebuilt your bone. I have the same looking device with the constrained liner to help with dislocation problems. When they were talking to me about a possible infection, they said all the device is pulled out and temporarily replaced...

    THR Constraint Liner - Noise

    THR Constraint Liner - Noise

    Anyone have a liner that is making noise? I'm over 9 months out from surgery, so it's definitely the hardware and not tendons. About 50% + of the time when walking. :shrug:

    Nothing better than getting home to your dog and your own bed! :loveshwr::dogsniff::dogwalk: Take it easy and remember to rest and eat well as your body has been fighting that infection.

    THR I am the Storm

    Sounds like you are in good hands! I had a scare that they thought a dislocation was infection related. They are doing the right thing by placing a spacer and clearing the infection before another implant....otherwise you will continue to dislocate. I hope surgery went well, have patience...you...

    THR Years after hip replacement

    Bursitis? But surely a DR would have picked up on that, as they can do injections to help that. Have you tried deep tissue massage?

    I have a constraint liner by Stryker.

    THR I am the Storm

    Not sure you should be out picking up Dog poop, you should be resting that leg while soft tissue tightens up. Are you in a brace to keep from dislocating? Please be careful.

    Hang in there! I believe you are in AZ? If so call the Mayo Clinic, you are really going to need a top notch infectious disease DR.

    THR I am the Storm

    I interviewed 5 surgeons after my dislocation, it took a while to find the right surgeon. Please explore other options after you get through this next surgery. I have a constraint liner, and they had to repair my medius gluteus as it was completely ruptured by a previous surgeon. Do they have...
