I originally had my THR in February of 2018. On April 20th 2019 I suffered a dislocation of that hip the pain is indescribable. I was taken by ambulance to the ER where they sedated me and put it back in place and put me in a leg immobilizer. One month later it dislocated again and I was referred to a Surgeon for revision. I had revision surgery end of August within two weeks I was very ill
and diagnosed with staph infection I had emergency surgery to remove the new revision clean it and replace it again. I went home with the IV antibiotic Vancomycin for six weeks. Almost exactly three weeks after the infection surgery my new hip dislocated. The Surgeon has no idea why it has dislocated with new equipment and had very few answers for me. In the last six months I've had three dislocations five ambulance rides five months in an immobilizer two surgeries one horrible infection and six weeks on IV antibiotics. I am paralyzed with fear of the dislocation happening again it was highly traumatic each time. Has anyone had similar experiences?? Thank You
