Yes, the OS does xrays each visit and says it's like a 2-for-1 because he xrays both hips each time. So no special 1 year appt or xrays on first hip but will be looked at at 10 1/2 months and 13 1/2 months. I really do forget that one now - other than the scar, it's like there was never a problem with it. in most ways, its the same with the second hip already. It's only having a flight of steps seem like a mountain and the difficulty with external rotation that reminds me.
Hope you're having a great weekend!
