Hi,
I have bilateral acetabular protrusio particularly effecting my left hip and has damaged a lot of the cartilage. I am 25 years old and this all started when I was 21 years old. I just had an arthroscope on my left hip last week. I am just concerned because it affects my flexibility badly... They say they won't do a hip replacement at my age because I am too young but I am just concerned that it will become stiffer. Why do they say that it is bad to have hip replacements at my age and also have many people had successful results in terms of flexibility?? Also, if anyone has this condition, could they please let me know of anything that may help.
Thanks so much,
Angela
