THR Constraint Liner - Noise

[Gray Horse]

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.

@Gray Horse Have you mentioned this noise to your surgeon? When was the last time you had an x-ray?

I had an x-ray @ 7 months and mentioned the noise to his assistant. I will follow up with my surgeon, just was hoping it would go away...

This may go away as more soft tissues, muscles and tendons tighten up around the new joint. But it's a good idea to check with your surgeon. They have your full record and can assess the situation fully.

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 joint space along the posterior aspect
and sequelae of indolent infection is not excluded. Additionally, sequelae of
metal osteoporosis/pseudotumor related to arthroplasty components is not
excluded.

Will talk with the surgeon after the holidays...

Oh my. I'm glad ortho followed up to adress your concerns with the MRI! Fngers crossed its a seroma.
Hang in there. Best wishes for answers and healing in 2024.

@Gray Horse Results are a bit concerning. But don't assume the worst for now. It's great that you have the results and discuss them with your surgeon soon.

Please keep us updated!
