Which approach did you did? Which doctor did the procedure?

@JohnDoe-mp1zk

@jack o'lantern I really do believe "pick the dr, not the procedure" . So many variables and opinions I found myself going nuts trying to make that decision. I read that quote somewhere and I do believe its valid and it helped me. I had hip replacement at 45 and while I really liked my Dr. my results were not ideal. He was highly regarded among his peers and in the community. He did not do the anterior approach, but I felt comfortable with him and I dont believe he did anything wrong but the bottom line is you just dont know how you will respond. No matter what they tell you, because all I heard was "oh, you will do great" considering the condition you are in. I was in excellent shape at the time. My recovery was horrendous. I was still using a walker after 6 weeks, not typical of a hip replacement and it really was about two years before i could say, oh yeah thats right i had my hip replaced. My body fat was low and in my legs must have been 2-3% if that. I almost feel that might have been more of a negative than positive. Everyone I know that was heavy or had a lot more body fat than I all remarkably better than I.Of course this anecdotal, but I almost feel like it might have been better to have some extras body fat, so pack some extra fat on ya before getting done. Who knows, certainly not me but making the decision you are going through now is difficult and I remember doing so. I feel for ya. If i had not like and trusted my doctor I can trell yopu I would be much more cynical and angry about the whole ordeal and that wouldn't have served anyone well. So, Thanks Dr Mark Heller.

Thr is limited consult the top five hr surgeons. I have hr no revisions.

Had a posterior THR 6 weeks ago. I'm walking comfortably with one crutch or stick 2Km daily, inside I'm starting to walk with no support at all. The best thing I did prior to surgery was to look at as many actual operations on KZread as I could. I was totally relaxed going into surgery and haven't looked back.

Wow, I hadn't seen this advice anywhere else, so sensible-and valuable, You guys are always extremely helpful. Thanks!

Thank you for making it extremely visual for faster and easier learning! It was hard imagining the precautions by just reading

I am 67 and heading into my 5th week after posterior THR. Been without walker or cane since middle of week 3. I only used extra strength Tylenol for pain the first week. I am sleeping on my back and non surgical side with pillow between my knees. I do experience sciatica and thigh pain that will wake me during the night but sleep is getting better. I see PT 2xweek and of course do my at home exercises. I still have alot of discomfort in incision area but doc said by week 8 that should be mostly resolved. My advice is to follow your doctor's hip protocol and most importantly keep moving so you don't get stiffness.

finally after 3.5 years....no thanks to the covid.... full left side hip replacement, and after a week,,, i have tears of joy.. if you have any pain, get it done sooner than later. don't let them try to convince u that you are too young. get it done right away.. pain free now till the end of my life. i am currently 49 years old, my birthday is in june.

Great video with lots of helpful information. Thank you.

Had Bi-lateral staged THA, right weeks apart, in June and August, 2021. Had Anterior approach. No hip precautions. No pain..could sleep any way I wanted. Actually woke up to discover I had rolled into my left (surgical) side, about 3 nights after surgery, while sleeping. That freaked me out a bit. Anyway, Anterior Hip replacement was piece of cake, for me. Was walking a mile, with no came and no pain, 5 weeks post surgery, and went back to work at that time. Kudos to Dr. Tim Wagner, in Rochester,,NY.

What are the precautions for a surgery that was cut on the lateral side of your leg? Originally, I was told some of the precautions that you mention for posterior and anterior. Thanks for the help!

I have learned so much from the most famous physical therapists in the world, in my opinion. Bob and Brad, many thank.

I had left hip anterior surgery on 11/30/22. My hip pain had been about an 8 or 9, I basically could not do anything without a great deal of pain. This is in addition to a left knee that needs a replacement and chronic lower back pain. I would say my post surgery pain was about what I expected. It was well managed in the hospital and I went to rehab for 4 days where it was still well managed. Of course I did have pain, certain movements felt like 1,000 bees were stinging me all at once. Now home for 4 weeks, and with no precautions, I have been keeping up with my PT exercises (a must) and my pain is minimal. I would say that the worst part is getting comfortable sleeping but that is improving. It is a joy to have relief from the constant sharp pain. Thank you Dr. Alpaugh, great job!

My advice was to bridge ASAP, so I started the day I had my operation and have done it every day since, to date I am 4.5 weeks since the op, I am walking with out an aid, or a limp, I am riding my push bike every day for an hour and I turned 72 last may. This operation was one of the best things I have done. Don't put it off.

I was told to add bridging as one of the exercise!!! It kinda helps relief my backache, but since you mentioned its a no no, guess l gotta stop doing it. I had a right hip replacement 5 months ago by the way.

Best video ever ! Easy to understand and excellent explanations

I had anterior surgery, which is the best way to go - for a full hip replacement. The recovery is faster with better results. My physical therapy started on the third day after my surgery. On the first day of physical therapy, I was instructed to do the bridge exercises. It helps to build the muscle around your glutes, it has been 4 months since my surgery and I am doing very well. I was told I cannot ever return to running or jogging. However, I love hiking, walking, bicycling and lifting weights. Of course I had an outstanding physician who specializes in anterior hip replacement and knees. I am sure the hip replacement can come out of the joint by doing excessive sports, or jumping, running or possibly a surgical error, or a medical anomaly. Whatever the case it is man made and not God made. We need to be careful with our new hip. Anterior surgery has improved since this video was made. You need to look at the latest research in the last 5 years on anterior hip replacement. Thank you for the informative video, but please update it. Sent from my iPad

Super helpful! Thank you so much!

Hope this post helps someone out there.i was due for an anterior total hip replacement but just before I was to be wheeled into theatre my doctor said your leg seems to be more noticeable shorter than your right leg so I have decided it will be better to do the posterior approach as it will give us more room to do the hip and get your left leg the same length.this I thought was a bad start but I am pleased to report that all went well and I am now pain free.i was walking normally in 6 weeks without any aids and going upstairs with ease.i put this down to gods help ,I also did my best by doing gym work months before my operation losing excess weight any eating healthy I will never be able to repay my doctor and his team for what they have now given me so thankyou.

You have to be smart with what you do my hips are going strong twenty years now...i had to have a revision a year after the original on my left but that was because the stem was too small. The revision was only 10 percent weight bearing which was the hardest thing. I was 37 when I had them.

From what I can see on the different social media groups about Hip Replacement, recovery results are all over the place. Recovery from the posterior approach is much more difficult. You don't seem to be all that unusual. Hang in there and all the best. I hope you have a great holiday season.

@@juneschalit5531 yes, u dont have to keep it dead center, just dont go out side of ur outer thighs, with ur head. As far as getting in and out of the car, my surgeon sent me to a prehab class, before the surgery, where they teach u how to use ur walker, how to get in and out of the car, stepping up on curbs, etc. I never had an issue. I was climbing stairs the same day as my surgery, without the walker, I dont recommend that, follow ur Dr. Instructions, but I'm only 48, and wanted to push myself. If u really want to see what they're going to do, there are videos, on KZread, that show the full surgery, both approaches too, the anterior approach, being the preferred one. But if ur a bit squeamish, I wouldn't watch, I watched both, before my surgery, so I knew exactly what they were going to do. I hope things go well for u, I think u will be happy with the results, dont worry too much, the actual surgery was a breeze. Oh, there is one more thing, I had out patient surgery, I was home 2 hours after the surgery, but before they let me go home, they made me walk, to the bathroom, and urinate, which I did, no problem, there was a nurse behind me, while I used the toilet, as soon as I finished, I passed out, came to about 5 min later, in a wheelchair, back at my bed. This is a normal reaction, it doesn't happen to everyone, but they didnt tell me about it, but were prepared, with a wheelchair, in case it happened. Since ur having both done, it may be different for u, and I dont know if u will be outpatient, or staying for a day or so, ur experience may be different. Even with the dislocation, it was, overall, a great experience, I'd do it all again tomorrow. I had my surgery in Jan. 14 2020, I dislocated on Jan 26 2020, but today, just a few months later, I can run, jump, ride bikes, and do most everything I did when I was younger. Good luck! Take care!

I had posterior hip replacement on left side do to breaking neck of femur in half, 4 years earlier. At that time I had had plates, pins, and screws to fix the break. Before the left hip replacement I had anterior right hip replacement. I also had spinal stenosis and spondylolisthesis of the L 4-5 level of my spine. I do not regret the hip replacements to much but the back surgery has had me in horrible chronic back pain since the surgery 5 1/2 years ago. Could the difference in hip replacements have anything to do with the back pain and still right hip pain? My body is so physiologically off. I am sick of pain and pain relievers!!

I’m surprised there was no mention on pillow placed between the leg while sleeping on side to allow for healing and alignment after surgery?

My surgery was anterior but both dislocations were posterior, there is no describing the pain! I feel a bit better reading all the success stories but I would be happy to take any advice I can. I came home with a hip brace I wear all day unless I’m laying down and a large triangle shaped foam pillow that straps to my legs both are helping but I am still so scared with every move I make😱.

Love your tutorials. Had posterior hip replacement surgery done with robotics. I've had to really watch myself when sitting properly and while in bed trying to stay uniformed as to not dislocate. 6 weeks in and walking with cane outside and walking a lot without cane inside. Hasn't been an easy ride for me as i still have some pain and trying to cope with sleeping on my back! ( side sleeper all my life till now) but taking small steps to recovery.

In a couple of weeks, I will have anterior hip replacement which my ortho surgeon specializes in. I am grateful for the miracle of modern medicine.

I had right THR in August 2020. I mentally prepared for the surgery by watching these videos AND KZread videos of actual surgeries. Unfortunately, the next day after surgery they found an embolism in my lung and a clot in my frmoral artery. YIKES! Thank God I had good doctors. Fast forward to now: I am having trouble with balance and can't get onto my motorcycle or horse yet. I suppose that the issue of my left knee needing replacement might be compounding the problem with balance.

For Anterior how long are restrictions for? Indefinitely? I am 6 days out from Anterior approach, but I also have a dropped foot , same side.

Thank you for this video. I am due for total hip replacement and am very worried about all the precautions and the recovery time. I have been putting it off for a number of years and hope i am doing the right thing. Can you tilt back like in a dentists chair after this surgery?

I sympathize with you .Don't put it off any longer ....it will all be good ,,, better than you can expect , but DO YOUR EXCERCISES !.

Great video. I had both of my hips done at once and was walking 4 hours after surgery. Walking up and down stairs on day 2 and back to work in 2 weeks (could have been earlier but I wanted to relax). Preparation before the surgery is the KEY to my success. Stretching out those hips and growing will make your recovery much easier.

Sir after how much time after surgery I can prescribe bridging to my Patients in thr cases.as u told bridging is contraindicated

How long do you recommend for precautions? I live alone and after hip surgery mo ago, I have started to pick things I drop up.

Can you do video on proximal humerus fracture orif surgery

Thanks for sharing. 💕

How do you feed the dogs. My surgeon does the posterior. Yikes! I also cross my legs all the time and know l will surely mess up there.

Could the bridging movement cause loosening in the hip if done to soon or should it be not done at all? I have had re-replacement done in my right hip, this past March. I'm having such pain still. Is it normal to still be in such bad pain. They have had me doing this bridge movement the whole time. Thank you if you can give me an answer. Teresa

Thank you very much

TYVM for this very informative video. I got a call yesterday from NP telling me results of my MRI of my hips and said I was going to need 'both' replaced. I immediately went & got a copy of MRI's. Personally, I think/hope she is mistaken since both AVN areas are small. R & L reports are identical except: L hip: 3-4 cm region left superior femoral head AVN. R hip:1-2 cm region anterosuperior R femoral head AVN. Both: No left proximal fractures & Moderate to severe joint chondrosis. *Rehab/PT that would be required after hip replacement frightens me considering my spine issues (levoscoliosis; moderate & severe bilereral foraminal stenosis, 4 bulging disc).

I'm a nurse and know of a practice in State College, PA that is known for "if anyone walks in, they get recommended for surgery". Not saying either way, but multiple opinions is best.

The left leg that was operated on is now swollen down to my toes. Should I be weary of this or wait till I see the doctor next week?

Is this action not to be done for few months post surgery ?

What are limitations for side-entry hip replacement?

Can I ask please is this for the first 12 week after THR or really for life. I have a RTHR and never noticed as much how my feet point inwards until I had my left foot pinned. I think the right side is slightly inward and I have had a posterior HR....they did say they were going to do Anterior. I have hypermobility. So do I have to be more carful of dislocations? Thank you in advance and always loved your videos.

Thank you both for doing this. It's most helpful.

I had posterior THR. Does the risk of dislocation go away after 3 or 4 months? Or is it a lifetime of precautions?

You should cover the anterio-lateral procedure. Superior to the anterior or posterior procedures. Less opportunity for nerve damage and MUCH faster recovery.
