THR and activity - to Casey

[Guest guest]

Casey

Do you have a THR? Which If so I'd be really interested to hear what

activities you're able to do and which prosthesis you have because

although I have a BHR, my sister will probably get a THR. I'd heard

before about the great ROM with large diameter THR, however, I

thought there were still issues with impact and other stresses on the

stem. I understood that the sideways (?)stresses on the THR stem can

eventually loosen it, although the Exeter hip (and probably others)

is designed to minimise this.
