I had a hip revision 21st June. I week later I was back into hospital.
There I had 4 disclocations in a week. 10 days total bed rest,
With hip abduction brace. Had another revision surgery 18th July and two then day
Was ment to leave got blood clots in both lungs. Finally 4 weeks after 2nd admission
I'm home, still with abduction brace.
What a journey for a 46 year old with teenagers this has been
A hard 6 weeks. Brace on for another 2 weeks (4 weeks post op)
Trying hard to be positive and not scared of my new upgraded joint.
Que pesadelo! Geralmente essas operações correm bem, mas a sua parece ter sido um desastre completo. Espero que a última cirurgia tenha resolvido o problema e que seus adolescentes passem as próximas semanas cuidando de você.

Dear Nzander
You have had such a journey but seems you are on the right road now and home!
Let yourself be spoiled, take it steady but easy.
My 2nd replacement of 2 weeks ago still gives problems but they disappear compared to all you have been through.
With very best wishes for a speedy recovery now. X
My goodness that is an ordeal. Hope all goes smoothly for you now and that you are being well looked after.
Best wishes
Ann
Been there done that...Hated that ole abduction brace :-( but things did get better & no more dislocations or subluxations thankfully. You are in my thoughts & prayers. Take care Vickie Martin
I was 35 at the time of my 1st THR...
I'm now 64 & wore the artificial joints out being an orthopedic nurse and horseback riding :-) God bless.💙
Boa tarde, nzander. Bem-vindo ao fórum hip. Uau! Você passou por muito! Você sabe por que teve tantas luxações? Eles fizeram redução fechada cada vez que seu quadril se deslocou? Quantas revisões você já teve? Eu desloquei minha primeira prótese de quadril no ano passado. 3 semanas e 2 dias depois, terei que fazer uma revisão total do quadril. Também tive que usar o colete de abdução por 6 semanas quando estava na cama. Também fiquei sem apoiar peso, sem exercícios de quadril ou flexão do quadril além de 80 graus. Agora estou lidando com dor nervosa e sensibilidade na coxa. Oração para você se curar e ficar mais forte. Abraços 🤗 Linda.
oh nzander,
indeed, what a journey ... was the right hardware used? how can your hip dislocate so many times without you knowing it ... did the ball not fit the socket -
I went back to read your previous post and it seems that you have not been well with this hip for 4 years ...
Is it possible to get a 2nd opinion?
Big warm hug
renee
Hi, Amazing you must be a very focused and determine person, l'm 68 and nearly a month post first revision next one next year, l can only admire your strength and good luck for the future, Tony
Bem Nzander, você conseguiu superar a maioria de nós aqui, eu realmente
sinto por você, já é difícil passar por uma cirurgia se o resultado é direto
para frente, mas como mãe de adolescentes irritantes deve ser um pesadelo.
Mantenha a cabeça erguida e enfrente a tempestade, espero sinceramente que você melhore rapidamente. X
Hi. I sure knew about it when it disclocated. Just glad that I was still in hospital.
Can't discribe the pain. Surgeon said there was a large clot in the joint so that,
Might of caused it.
Hi. Surgeon said there was a large blood clot in joint, that could of caused it.
So have now had two revisions in a month. Don't need brace in bed, just wearing it during day.
Allowed 50% weight bearing .
Hi guys. Thanks for messages. Wore shoes for 1st time in 6 weeks today.
Two weeks left of brace then back to surgeon.
