Hi All,
I am 18 days post posterior THR left leg. I had a ceramic on ceramic implant, cementless with a single screw in the cup. 36mm implant.
I have only just found this forum and it is fantastic.
I was released from hospital on day three with the advice that I could full load bear on the operated leg.
I have been taking it fairly easy, just doing the minimum physio until yesterday. The last two days I have been walking unaided around the house. My hip is now sore and swollen. I am hoping that I have just over worked the muscles but am concerned that I may have moved the femoral stem.
Is this something that can happen? Or are they generally jammed in too tight to be easily moved?
Thanks
