    THR 7/10 Anterior Left

    Here's a quick update on me... This almost 4 month experience has been quite amazing, as well as life changing. My July 10th left hip is doing very well. No issues at all, although I did have to suspend some of my therapy after 6-7 weeks in order to focus on the right hip. It feels great, is...

    THR 7/10 Anterior Left

    The journey begins...

    I have a date! Tuesday, July 10th. Due to my size, my OS has recommended doing one at a time, starting with my left hip. He’ll do the right 2-3 months after the first. Almost six weeks gives me a chance to get in the best shape possible. I’ve got a nervous excitement about it all. He said...

    The journey begins...

    Hello, everyone. After 12 years of increasing pain in both hips from acetabular dysplasia, I'm headed to see an OS tomorrow to discuss anterior THR, possibly bilateral. I'm aiming for this summer. I'm 50, 6'10", 250 lbs. and a former college/international basketball player. Now I know why I was...
