RE: SurfHippie Good Luck, BHR revision

[Guest guest]

How great to hear from you and that you are doing so well!! BIG CONGRATS!

Interesting to know what they tell you from the bone/lab test. So very happy

to hear you have your BHR cup and a large head femoral component.

Take it easy with your recovery

Hi Everyone!

Just thought I'd let you know I got out yesterday!

After a bit of a concern (when my surgeon suggested a normal thr or a

ceramic one pre surgery).

I awoke to the best news possible; I'm now the proud owner of a large

head metal on metal thr, utilizing the original bhr pelvic cup.

The surgeons where well chuffed with what they found or didn't........

No sign of infection, just the bhr loose on the femur, a bone section

has been sent away for tests but they don't think there will be any

problems.

I'm getting about really well, on 2 sticks at the mo, staying with my

mum for a week or so for loving support and a downstairs loo!

I'm going to be part of a report as it's so rare for a bhr to loosen for

no apparent reason.

Thanks again for all your support pre and post op.

Looking forward to talking with you all again.

A slightly sore !

Hi ,

Well so glad to hear that you are now on the other side of the revision

surgery etc............ and to hear that everyone is pleased with no

infection but still somewhat mysterfied as to why it happened.........

Infections in bones are about the last thing you wanted, so I am sure you

are feeling quite happy with that announcement.

I look forward to hearing the final outcomes of tests etc to see if they can

establish what caused the failure and best of luck with a speedy

recovery...........

Dear ,

Welcome back!!!! And such good news about no infection. So strange

about the bhr loosening. How long will the tests take? Will be good to

hear the results. And it will be interesting to compare your two

recoveries??

Hi Alyce, Edith, Eleanor, ine and everyone else!

Thanks so much for your lovely messages; I'm chilling out here, still a

bit shell shocked knowing I'm on the way to recovery!

I'll keep you all posted as to how I get on, so far the recovery seems

very similar, different pain control in hospital (no self medicated

morphine) so a bit more discomfort at times, but otherwise it's all

good!

Thanks again

I have a question,

If the femur side of a resurfacing is loose, like in 's case, why can't

they just cement it back on if they didn't find anything wrong with the

bone?

Hi June,

Someone may give a more technical answer but my guess is that while the bone

may be without infection at that point it may well not be suitable for

gluing anything back onto....... I would think that we require sort of

freshly reemed bone to glue the prothesis onto and bone that has had a

floating prothesis around it for months may not foot that bill........ Then

to take more bone off to get that would not leave enough to support the

prothesis........

There is also the problem that there could be other things wrong with the

femur bone other than infections.........
