THR Noise Issues - Hip Squeak

[wills640]

I had a silent hip installed in 2011 which was nothing short of miraculous allowing me to resume fitness and competitive cycling. It's probably cycled more than 140000 miles! However, it's now squeaking upon rotation and making plenty of odd noises. No pain though. X-ray booked next week. Does anyone have experience of this?

Sorry to read this, @wills640. Glad you have an x=ray scheduled to investigate.

Meanwhile, you could read through some of these threads I found when I did a quick search for "hip squeak after THR"

Hi wills,
Please identify which hip you've had the procedures on so we're able to add it to your signature.
Thanks in advance!

Just read through your entire thread. You've done well, made remarkable progress. Wishing you the best for your x-ray next week. I hope you receive some reassuring news soon. I appreciated your explanation that a silent hip, is not what most would think. First tine I've ever heard of a Silent Hip, read it was launched in 2009. I need to get with the times, lol.
Have a nice weekend!
