Im 50 & having both done Dec and Jan. Im extremely active. My question is do all doctors use this new polyethylene?? Either way im in so much pain they could last a year and I'd be happy😂 I cannot wait to have my hip replaced

Thank you. I'm 5 months post-op and have returned to my practice with modifications and the use of props.

A bathtub shower would be more practical for this video.

Hii… can you please advise what happens to the microplastics in the body that get released from the Polyethylene wear and tear over the years. Thank you

Thank you for uploading this video. I'm 40, active in impact sports, and in need of a THA. This gives me hope that my life as I've known it isn't over.

sorry, but not realistic for someone who had knee replaces as far as flexibility and range of motion

I have a leg lifter so I'd rather use that

This was wonderful!!! I’m on day 4 out of the opp room and got a rod and pins in my hip AND IM TRAPPED IN MY HOUSE !!! lol. I’m 44 and was walking w a walker day of surgery…. Soon as the nurse said bedsores 👀 LETS WALK !!! Freak accident at work. Even the doc was baffled at my age how I did it. First brake/ fracture ever. Smh. Tyvm all of you !!

To add to what many other people have said here: HIP PRECAUTIONS. The technique shown here might work if the surgeon used an anterior approach but for anything else - like those of us with a transverse - this is absolutely wrong, and *dangerous.* If that were mentioned in the video, fine, *but it isn't.* Anyone who tries this with a transverse or posterior approach is breaking precautions and risking hip dislocation. One other thing: I got one of those sock things while preparing for surgery. It was useless; I couldn't get any of my socks on it, they were too small (or it was too big). If my small socks wouldn't fit on it why would I think one of these extremely tight stockings would? Maybe it will work if you have a bigger size compression stocking but for some (possibly a lot) of us the sock thing is not at all helpful. Even if you're not breaking hip precautions.

I’m so glad to view this as I’ll be undergoing manipulation in 4 days. Info was very helpful

I'm glad I watched this,I had my walker way too high up after femoral rod hip surgery. It's so much easier to walk with it at the right height. I will go to a cane as soon as my limp goes away. Thank you for your very helpful video.

Thank you for this video. It has helped me understand my numbness.

A LOT of patients are at home doing this on their OWN.

So he said he hesitated so long before he decided to have the surgery because he didn't want to be off his feet and not be able to participate in the things he enjoyed doing during the recovery. tennis, etc. Which he said he could not do before the surgery. But the sooner he would have had the surgery the sooner he would have been back to doing those things he liked to do. Just a waste of time since he seemed to recover quickly from the partial knee surgery.

I won't be able to shower until I can climb in and out of a giant claw-foot tub. I foresee sponge baths for weeks in my case.

So do you recommend any specific prosthetic supplier? Smith and Nephew, Depuy, United Orthopedics, Zimmer Biomet. X-nov. Do you see anyone better than another? I looked at the ODEP rating but did not clearly understand how it works.

A plastic part for a hip implant should work too. My kitchen mixer has food grade plastic gear or two inside and its going strong after 13 years. A few automobiles had plastic or nylon timing gears as well. It wasn't great but they functioned awhile.

Thank you

Well I had knee surgery so I go up and take my time to go up an down slowly, u will not have no accidents if u go up with good leg. Take ur time please no rush...

If you have a big foot... these plastic tools get bent with compression socks... and your foot doesn't even fit into the white piece..

Why do all the people demonstrating how to put on these compression socks have the skinniest legs of anyone?

it doesnt matter how much weight it adds, because the return to function is amazing. Took a year for mine to bend to 90 degrees and more. but it was worth it.

I'm 69 years old and have been a fitness instructor for 40 years , a ( certified) Yoga teacher for 15 . Imagine my surprise when my post op app has me doing bridge post , holding 10 seconds, 5 reps , 3 sets . I'm 7 days post op after ANTERIOR approach THR !!! would love to hear your take on this

Interesting. Though, fyi, my hip seems to be off.

Sure can, my wife just had her bi- ops recently. Save cost travelling twice to hospital, save operating room costs, save anesthesia. save medical check cost, save having to suffer twice the pain. save physiotherapy cost etc. Her age 64. Doctor advice bilateral, the new trend now.

Are you kidding me? Why doesn’t the manufacturer make these easy to put on?

I'm watching this after my mom got an x-ray showing ball movement 4 months after the surgery, which "we" are not sure how (possible unknown fall?) it happened?? She'll be getting a second surgery to get this fix again .

I had a stiff knee, then MUA 8 weeks out. Post surgery I experienced quadriceps hematoma, swelling, stiffness and unable to put weight on operative knee. Ct and MRI showed no fractures. I am 3 weeks out from MUA still stiff knee and not making good progress with ROM. Quads and hamstrings are extremely tight. Can’t get better than 80 degrees flexion. Concerned about even trying another MUA or surgery to remove scar tissue. Desperate.

I am curious about the ages of these patients. Does age play a factor in risk?

I am 5 days post op from left medial partial replacement. I am 67 and in excellent shape. There is no way I could ride a stationary bicycle today and both my doctor and PT would be against it. While pain is reduced and I am off prescription pain meds since day 3, the swelling is inhibiting my flexion which is normal. Goal in week one is to get full extension and 90 degrees of flexion. I can walk short distances without crutches. I never used a walker. Good for him if his results were as he describes but, this is not the norm. Driving after 1 week when right knee was involved is irresponsible at best.

I just had knee surgery on Friday. I wasn't given any instructions for showering, pt/ot, or anything else. They just patted the back of my hand and wheeled me out. Seriously not impressed with that possible

Thank you for sharing this information. I’m having partial knee replacement surgery soon and I have stairs. This is very helpful. Thanks again. 🙏

What if your mom weight bearing

SOMETHING TO CONSIDER AS THE CHOICE OF METAL OR CERAMIC BALL IS ONLY PART OF THE REPLACEMENT. SOURCE GIVEN AT END: "Risk of Metallosis from the Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII Hip Implants The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII are a bit different from the all-metal hip implants in that they implement a ceramic ball rather than a metal one. Since the major problem with the metal-on-metal hip implant design is the fact that the ball and acetabular cup rub against one another causing tiny metal ions to shear away and lodge into the surrounding tissue or bloodstream, it was believed the ceramic ball of the Rejuvenate and ABGII would effectively circumvent this issue. Unfortunately, the design turned out to have some different problems however the result was the same-metal ions in the body leading to metallosis. Metallosis can cause serious adverse health symptoms for the recipient of the hip implant, many of which are irreversible, even when the implant is removed. The Stryker Rejuvenate and ABGII were recalled this past July due to the risk of fretting and corrosion at the neck juncture. It was later found out that the metal trunnions, located at either end of the neck piece are made of metal as well. Body fluids can become trapped underneath the trunnions, corrosion occurs and metal ions are released into the body just as with the all-metal implant. The trunnions on the neck snap into the stem on one end and the ball on the other, giving surgeons freedom to choose the perfect size components for each individual patient. There is considerably less metal surface area than in the metal-on-metal hip implant, meaning there will be lower levels of cobalt and chromium in the body. The problem is that any level of cobalt and chromium can be too much. In persons who are particularly sensitive to these metals, even small amounts can make them very sick. Others with a relatively high tolerance for the metal ions may not notice any adverse effects until the levels in their body have built up to an alarming amount, then they may fall very ill. The following health issues are common in cases of metallosis: Kidney problems and renal failure Neurological issues Cardiovascular problems Loss of vision and hearing Disruption of DNA Thyroid problems Fatigue, anxiety, depression Loss of memory Chronic headaches and brain “fog” Dizziness and vertigo Skin disorders Gastrointestinal disorders The development of pseudo-tumors Those who have a Stryker Rejuvenate or ABGII-or any other metal hip implant-in their body should take special precautions. You must have regular blood work to monitor the levels of cobalt and chromium in your body, and your doctor may also want you to have a bone scan to determine whether there is any deterioration of the bone or tissue surrounding your implant. An experienced products liability attorney can also help inform you of your rights and assess your individual situation in order to determine what your options are for your future."

I DO KNOW THAT MOST MANUFACTURES DO INCENTIVIZE SURGEONS TO USE THEIR PRODUCTS. BUT A SURGEON HAS TO USE SOMETHING AND CAN NOT LEARN AND STOCK EVERY OPTION.

Thanks.

If using toilet pull your under wear/ sweats down to ur knee then sit down do your business then stand up balance on one side to pull up underwear/ sweats then lean against wall and bring other side of under wear & sweats up. If at night for men go commando or wear loose fitting shorts then urinate in a pee container, have a small wash clothes to catch drippings it helps instead of going to toilet dyring late noght/ early morning.

This is fantastic news! I'm 51 and had my left hip replaced 5 years ago. Wear has been a concern for me because I'm a martial artist/kickboxer, runner and I do a lot of hiking. I was told at the time that the new HXPE inserts were so good that they didn't know how long they would last. But knowing that even at a high impact and activity level, it will likely last the rest of my life definitely allows me more confidence.

Had mine done at 52, mine was the result of an accident, but good to know this will last my life time, I'm one year out and it feels great

I had a stroke and my left foot is pretty weak when I'm walking and I use a cane. I have to have bunion and hammer toe surgery on my right foot. how will I be able to walk after the surgery?

How long does this numbness take to vanish ? I am in my 5 months after the TKR both legs.

I just did mine a week ago. How was your recovery and how was pain after surgery?

I had a manipulation 5 weeks after my replacement. The anesthetic was brutal, but after i got home and slept it off i had no further issues with my knee and everything is working great

Whatta Maroon, a fall from the second floor!!!! I'm not thinking about my hip. Your head explodes like a melon BUT your hip is fine..😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

My ceramic on ceramic is 20 yrs this year. No probs. It's DePuy

Cost difference between robotic and traditional knee replacement surgery

I wàs shown the opposite😮

Went bionic 9/24/2004. Going great. Overweight though,, Workin on it

Excellent! I needed this before my hip replacement. But now I'm resdy for a new knee so this will really help me! Thanks you so much!

Fascinating.

My husband is having a shoulder replacement by Dr. Amini on April 15th. I’m glad I saw this.
