Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Hi liney. Why did they do a cat scan on you ? Well I wish you the best of luck.

So thank you.I know what you mean by not wanting the operation. Ireally dont want to go through the things I am goingto have to in the next few months. I went for a CTscan on Wednesday, for them to build my new hip forme, and lying there in the strange tunnel gave me timeto think of all the things I want to do. How normalof a life will the new joint give me? I am lucky inthat I only have problems with one joint, I know itcould be so much worse.Keep smiling and in touchLiney ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Messenger - all new features - even more fun! http://uk.messenger.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Hi I had a CT scan to create a 3D image of my hip, so that they can make my hip especially for me. Is that uncommon then?

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Hi Liney, I had my Hip Replacement done five years ago I never had a ct scan and after my Dr did my Hip he told me that the bone wasn't that bad now I have this bad scar tissure I had 38 staples and a lot of people I read their e-mails only had 18 staples .

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Friends When I questioned my doctor if I really needed a THR he asked if I wanted a ct scan to get further information substantiating his opinion. I said no, since I had already had two other opinions. Everything is possible, but I've never heard of custom made hips. Sounds good, if it exists. Could he have meant to select the best fit for you, because it seems strange to reinvent the wheel when there are so many different products already on the market. Re: staples, I had none. My doc used sutres. I don't know why. I had about 12 to 14 stitches and no black and blue marks, that is, brusing, afterwards.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Susie and Stan I have been told that my hip joint is deformed (Once I looked at the x ray noone needed to tell me) so they decided it would be best if they made a joint especially for me.

But where some of the Hip range is restricted (don't flex past 90 degrees), one wants as much in the knee as one can get, and they usually want at least 90 degrees before the person leaves the hospital. With many replacement prostheses, 120 degrees is the limit they can expect, but I found out a bit late that mine is stable past that......I have 135 now, but its getting harder and harder to get any more. y Quote

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Thanks Stan and Susie you have both bought a smile to my face which I thought was an impossible task today. I dont know where I got ROM from, maybe I made it up! Sorry to hear that you arent doing brilliantly Susie, sounds like you have had more than one joint replaced. Hope things go better for you.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Hi Liney, I am also 28 yrs old & awaiting a take down of a hip fusion followed by a thr 4 weeks later on the same side (right). I am very well aware of the term range of motion - you did not make it up! I have had very limited rom for many years now. I was born with displasia and then had severe avn. 10 yrs ago I went back to an OS due to the avn taking almost all of the ability to move my right hip. They determined at that point that there was not anything they could do except for fuse my hip so that I would not get arthritis later in life. Long story short - it obviously made my chief complaint much worse. I have been waiting my whole life for a replacement so as of right now, I am much more excited than worried. (I am sure that will change a bit as it gets closer). My doctor tells me that my rom will be infinately better than what I have now (which is none). So the activities that I look forward to are sitting on the floor, riding a bike, tying my shoes,etc. My thr recovery is a little bit unpredictable because of the fusion and the non-use of my muscles for so long. My doctor has not mentioned the term custom hip but he will do a CT scan and computer mock-up of my hip & surrounding area to assist him in the planning & during the actual operation. From what I understand this is a fairly new technology but can be very beneficial. I have read many of the posts on this board & am very glad to have found it.

Guest guest Posted August 1, 2004 Report Posted August 1, 2004 Hi Colleen, I'm glad that you e-mail Liney but I liked to know did you Dr say you could sit on the floor with a Hip replacement? I'm sorry I still not sure what you mean by ROM because I can't ever remember not having my ROM before my Hip Replacements can you maybe explain it to me ?Thanks you have a nice day .

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Susie, For me, range of motion (ROM) is simply how much my hip will move. With 2 large pins going right through my hip joint - I do not have any motion. It is kind of hard to picture because many people think " well then how do you sit? " . I guess that is where the body is amazing because I somehow bend at my pelvis & am able to sit - although modified & typically with my leg out in front of me. My Dr. does expect me to be able to sit on the floor. This is something that I have not been able to do without my arms behind me supporting me in many years. This group has been recently & will continue to be valuable to me while I await my thr and during the recovery afterwards.

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Hi Colleen, Thanks for letting me know that . If I see another Dr and show him my xrays from my other Dr and he says I can sit on the floor I still don't know if I want to after all I am 61 I think I'll stay in the chair. Well I wish you the best of luck and keep in touch with us I liked to know how your doing after your operation .

Guest guest Posted August 2, 2004 Report Posted August 2, 2004 Susie, I hear you in regards to not caring if you sit on the floor. It is definately not my first wish of activities but it is a good way to describe some of my limitation that I want fixed. I have a young daughter though so it would be nice to sit on the floor with her & play comfortably. I will keep in touch throughout this whole process. My surgery is not until December & I am sure I will have questions leading up to it. Have a nice night, Colleen > > > > Susie, > > > > > > > > 5 years on how much of a normal life are you able to > > > > live?
