I had my second hip replacement 16 months ago, I thought I was supposed to have another chechup after 12 months? they said they would call me but never heard anything and when I rang this morning they said it's up to me if I want another checkup, I asked other people and they all said yes they saw their surgeon after a year. I thought it was all part of it.
Kann von Ort zu Ort unterschiedlich sein. Ich wurde bei meiner Nachuntersuchung entlassen. Das Gleiche gilt für meinen Mann und andere Menschen, die wir in unserer Gegend kennen. Keine Erwähnung einer Kontrolle nach einem Jahr. Man wurde lediglich angewiesen, sich direkt im Krankenhaus/beim Chirurgen zu melden, falls innerhalb der nächsten 3 Monate nach der Entlassung Probleme auftreten, und später über den Hausarzt.
hi joanne,
Good question ...
for me, only the follow up appointments was pre-scheduled (around 6 weeks post-op) and the removal of staples(14 days post-op) -
I also had 2nd THR within 6 months of 1st one ...
When was the last time you saw your surgeon? Are you concerned about something specific? Will they do a new xray?
My physical therapist is the one who checks my range of motion -
How are you getting on otherwise?
Big warm hug
renee
I had a six wk check up with surgeon, he said I will receive an appointment in post for a twelve month check up. I'm only 7 mths p.o. so I'll have to wait and see if the appointment arrives.
Happy healing xx
Ithink like everything else it varies from patient / surgeon / hospital to patient / surgeon / hospital !
I am being seen every 6 months - but then I have a complication.
Originally atvoriginal consult. I was told after post op check will see you every year and X-ray hip. After op at post op check. Told new guidelines don't need to see you unless you have a problem. Wrote to his secretary 9 months post op asking a question and consultant saw me two weeks later. This is NHS. You could always ring the hospital and ask to speak to consultants secretary. They are usually very helpful x
Thank you Renee, no particular problem, GP advised me to have xrays done, I was just curious. Hug to you too.
Joanne
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Ich denke schon. Ich habe nächste Freitag meine einjährige Nachuntersuchung. Ich habe immer noch Schmerzen, daher werde ich mich über das Röntgenbild und das Ergebnis freuen. Ich gehe gut zu Fuß und habe ein paar Flüge unternommen, aber ich möchte trotzdem die Beruhigung.
Still in pain - that's not so good - but going by my recent one-year checkup, they did seem amazed that I was totally pain free with what he called a 'normal' range of movement - so much so, I pushed my leg up higher past the point that the surgeon pushed it to. He seemed delighted with it. Only six months to the next checkup though.
