    THR Left Hip First - SuperPath vs Traditional

    I had an anterolateral incision for both left hip revisions. I had almost no pain postop. I iced it a lot. They don’t cut any muscles. The hip revisions are another story. Thanks to Depuy, my metal on metal started wearing and flaking off cobalt and chromium. And I had muscle damage. I may limp...

    THR Does PT and exercise help Hip Bursitis after RTHR? So frustrated.

    Any exercise, such as walking, will keep inflaming the bursa. A THR will help or cortisone can help tremendously.

    TKR IT band syndrome

    Roy Gardner While on my Italy trip, in 12 days I walked 40 miles but I had to rest frequently. I think I need to increase my endurance. I belong to the Y and they have personal trainers. Of course you have to pay $25/session to get a training plan. I can also go to PT about my gait.

    TKR IT band syndrome

    I had the same man. I was able to walk with a cane at 6 weeks. The cane was just a crutch. My doctor was impressed with my recovery. I would have to believe the physical therapist did many of the same things then.
