Hello,
I am 25 years old and I got on 10th this month my right hip replacement.
Long story short, I had tuberculosis and I did not know so my hip was affected until I needed a replacement. First I had a arthroscopy because nobody knew I had tuberculosis and after that failed arthroscopy I had a spacer for 6 months and this month I got my hip replaced.
My surgeon used a BIOLOX Delta with ceramic head. And I know is uncemented.
After the surgery at three hours they took me out of bed to walk, and after 1 day the doctor said I can walk using only 1 crutch.
I am feeling good, I did take for 3 days pain meds but because I had no pain I didn't took them anymore, as my doctor said.
The thing is I am a little paranoic, after I read all the stuff on the internet I have a curiosity.
It is ok that I walked in only one crutch since first day after surgery since is uncemented? Is there any chance that i can move the acetabular cup without knowing it? Or make any harm to the prosthetis? I'm worried because I want that this surgery to be the last one.
Also, does anyone had this type of prosthetis? Is it good?
Sorry for my bad english and thank you.
