article on hip replacement, anterior approach

[Guest guest]

i set my home page up so i can receive info on hip replacements. Today

i got this one on the anterior approach. i've been thinking about

having this done on my other hip. i had the traditional THR on my

right hip march 1 and am doing great, but i dont look forward to

another long recovery period with restrictions.

go to www.dailynews.com then scroll down 3/4 of the page. you cant

miss the article. there is a picture of someones hips with two new

implants.

This is the procedure I had. Except for the

dislocation, i am happy with the surgery. I am

already walking about 1/4 miles twice a day ( full

weight bearing). i recommend everyone look into this

approach. JennH

here, here, I also had this approach and I am doing

everything I did before the surgery only more. I was

told at my 6 wk. check up that I could do anything

that I did before the surgery without going overboard.

It is wonderful.

If your dr. won't do this procedure then I would look

into another dr. that is on the cutting edge.

i am checking into this. I have been doing a lot of research. The doctors are pretty good in this area( I'm from troy, michigan). hopefully, it won't take me too long to find a doc that can do this and hopefully i am a good candidate for it.

I was ready to have my other hip done this coming october. this may delay things a bit. hope not!!

good luck to you. I am sure it will be wonderful

outcome with the right dr. I was lucky enough to be

able to stay with family in Pa. for my surgery. I

live in Fla. and wasn't too sure about having the

procedure done down here. I am now having problems

with my knee on the other leg and wouldn't think of

going anywhere except back to Pa. to have any

procedure done for my knee because I was so happy with

my THR.

Nice article Margo.... very insightful~

[Guest guest]

I had my surgery at the Nazareth Hosp.in the northeast

section of Phila. About 2 yrs. ago or so the Rothman

Insti. made some kind of deal with Nazareth Hosp. to

open up 2 state of the art operating rms. for

replacements. From what I understand at the grand

opening they had dr. etc. from all over coming to see

the facility there. The whole one floor of the hosp.

is now just ortho. floor.

The Rothman Insti. has been in Jefferson Hosp. in

downtown Philly for many yrs. They have, I believe, 5

offices to go to but from what I understand they only

do surgeries in these two hosp. I didn't want to have

to deal with the center city trip and I have family

only blocks away from Nazareth Hosp. Upon release

from the hosp. I did my 6 wk. recoup. at my daughters

home in Lancaster, Pa. I was operated on a Tues. came

home to my daughters on Sat. . I went back for my 6

wk. check up at the Nazareth Hosp. got an ok at that

time to resume my normal activies and then off I was

flying back to Fl. to my home.

My next trip up to Pa. I will make an appt. for my

check up. They wanted to see me in 6mo. but it will

prob. be more like 9 mo. before I see then again.

You are in VERY good hands with the rothman group.

Good luck.

Peggy

thank you, peggy. i have spoken to a couple people who have had this procedure done and they have nothing but good things to say about it.

I'm looking for a surgeon here in troy/royal oak, michigan area who will do this. Hopefully, i can have it done by october.

there is a great article in a local paper here, www.detnews.com. scroll down to the article titled "Why getting older is getting easier". great info on this surgery.

continued good luck with your recovery
