Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 I just spoke to a friend of mine that had resurfacing about 6 years ago. She is 52 now and says she would do it again in a heartbeat, she is walking, working and having no joint pain. However, she says that the soft tissue trauma was pretty bad from the large incision and damage to the fascia and muscles. She has had revision of the area because of the deformation of the buttock area with a large sunken area at the top and a bulge at the bottom. She has muscle pain with any kind of impact - running, standing for long periods, going uphill, etc. Has anyone else had this happen?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2004 Report Share Posted July 18, 2004 Hi Carol, From your description it sounds like somehow the OS cut and/or damaged the tensor fasciae latae muscle which travels from the top of her hip down to joint up with others at the greater trochanter - the bit off the side at the top of the femur........ Thus where it should join on to the top hip area was sunken as it had fallen to the lump below..... Most OS appear to take particular care not to do this sort of damage from what I understand.......... They can pull the muscles apart without either needing to cut through them sideways or accidently pull them off the bones they are joined onto....... which could have also happened for some reason............ i.e. all the muscles are joined onto bones via fibrous material and it is possible to tear them off.......... Athletes and others do this with their shoulders and knees and have to go and have reconstruction done - which is what it sounds like she had done with that muscle......... Thereotically all returns to fairly normal - those tennis players and footballers go back playing - but I suspect recovery from such a thing needs very specialised PT etc........... I am not sure why that muscle alone would cause muscle pain with any kind of impact - maybe as the tensor part of the name implies it helps a lot with stability on impact....... However, there could be more involved and a trip to a good physio etc may be wise in her case to establish exactly what is happening to her combined hip muscles.............and get some specific stretches etc to help the situation...........
