Had my THR done this week. The evening after the surgery sucked. I am 3 days in and things are going great. Thanks for all the advice.

I had both hips replaced due to years of hip arthritis when I was in my early 60s. Mine are Birmingham-style protheses since I have healthy bones. Six weeks between surgeries. Each took a few hours and after showing I could walk and navigate steps with crutches (for safety) I was on the way home. I was not allowed to drive for a time, and was required to have someone with me for the first 24 hours after surgery. The drugs are really good, no pain. I was given exercises to perform at home. After about a week the crutches were replaced with a cane for a few more weeks. Once I could comfortably walk a certain distance the cane was gone. It has been a life-altering experience. I run half marathons now.

When I was in the hospital on day 1 during PT there was a lady who had just had a knee replacement who did not have a home plan in place. I felt bad for her. The staff tried to encourage her that they would find a place. I spent 3 months planning and preparing because of the information in your video along with the literature the hospital provided me during my pre op 2 weeks prior to surgery. We all had the added challenge this year of the electric company turning the power off during wind events. i had been home from the hospital 3 days and the power was out for 3 days. I had planned! M new y motto is " plan for the worst, hope for the best". Prepare before your surgery! All business were closed during the outage and again, the information on this site helped me to " shelter in place" and do a bit of PT at home by candle light. Another power outage is scheduled for the next 2 days, so again. I can do this because of these supportive videos. Thanks, you have no idea!!

I was doing my normal mountain bike riding routine within a month. First week was hard. I didnt get any physical therapy. Didnt need it. The physical therapist at the hospital showed me what to do as far as walking stairs. I have stairs in my home so I'd walk stairs several times a day and do leg lifts. The more I'd walk as the days progressed the better my hip would feel. I was completely off pain meds by like day 9 but still take a small dose of meloxicam because my other hip is bad too but not as near as bad as right hip was so am trying to buy some time.

Very good video and information. 👍I have extreme pain from spinal stenosis in my left leg (for 9 years) and four spinal surgeries that did not stop any leg pain. Discovered my left hip needs replacement, so having that done in a few weeks. The nerve pain makes it feel as if my knee and ankle are broken so I have no idea what sort of pain will be lessened by the hip replacement. Also I despise the opiate pain meds as they give me diarrhea that is worse than pain. but I have never felt any pain relief (just wacky brain function) from a dozen different pain meds including morphine. I can only hope the hip replacement helps so I can walk and reach my feet without as much pain. Even Mayo Clinic would not help me with the spinal stenosis. I have four lumbar vertebrae fused with rods and screws. I've been watching hip replacement surgeries on YT. Great praise for the doctors and staff that perform this surgery. Amazing work and skill.

Hi Dr. Zalzal, It's been just over 5 months now since my THR. The pain is gone from the ball and socket joint which you replaced which is awesome! I've been doing my exercises 3 times a day for the last 5 months. I was wondering why I'm still feeling tightness just under the incision still? Did you have to sew the 2 ligaments and the 4 rotator muscles back onto the head of the femur and that's why it's still feeling tight?

@TalkingWithDocs

4 жыл бұрын

Doug Hart Hi Doug. Glad to hear you are doing well. The muscles are sewn back together but the main reason you still feel tight is regular post operative recovery. Soft tissues respond to the incision and surgery in a variable way. This will usually soften up over time but can take up to 2 years. Exercise and time is usually the answer. All the best and thanks for watching

My hr is in 2wks. Not sure if I'm going to a rehab after surgery yet, but I'd like to schedule my physical therapy now. Is three weeks to long a wait after my surgery, to begin my phys ther???

These two need to tell patients things that won’t cause dislocations!!!! Like sleeping on sides. And PT that causes any lateral movement. Probably the best therapy walking. Sleeping on a recliner first 3 days helped me.

I'm a 71 yr old widow that lives independently, just had a THR yesterday 7/23 @ 10:30a , was discharged same day @ 4:00p. Had a session of PT before discharge and, 1 in-home PT visit ordered. So far ,so good. I see Drive- thru surgery in the future 😂

That is great news Rachel. So happy for you. Best of luck. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing with someone if you did.

So here we are exactly one year later. Bilateral knee replacements doing fantastic and still off cigarettes! No one is more suprised than I. Stress the pre-op PT it made all the difference! Dr Vivek Sahai calls me his rockstar! Wish I could say all news was good, undergoing a Catherization and possibltTAVR procedure in the next week.....then this fall I am scheduled to have DBS surgery to treat my. Severe Essential Tremor! Keep up the dialogue!

What would your suggestion be for bowling and swing hard in golf? Im a 41 old male that had a skiing accident and needed a hip replacement. Im 2 weeks out of surgery and went very well and each day is getting better. I guess at my age should I expect to have long term limitations or will things slowly get back to normal? I appreciate all your videos!

Would you address the iliopsoas muscle as far as how to treat it if there is mishap such as stepping of a stair and causing a sprain? Some of us are a bit more active and get back to life without understanding the need for caution and such for an extended period of time. Also, lifting or carrying anything other than very light items seems to cause strain as well. Anytime i run into something like my little dog or a piece or furniture seems to set things off. All this is just the stuff of life. My doctors says I am doing very well. How long does this surgery typically take to heal from in general terms of course.

Hi susan. For iliopsoas issues, often the treatment is some type of pain medication and stretching/strengthening. Healing from a THR usually takes up to one year and sometimes beyond. The majority of the healing takes place in the first three months however patients will often continue to improve with respect to pain, strength and mobility. Hope that answers the question. Continued good luck to you. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for providing this useful information. Regarding the common response "you can walk after knee replacement but not run". I don't understand the difference it has been shown the impact force from running is very similar to the for from walking. The force with running is slightly greater but the force is exerted for a shorter time than walking. Hence conclusion was the force of both activities are similar. Also I am a barefoot runner which has been shown to inflict less force than shoes.

Hi Craig. This topic is a bit controversial. In general, running does not cause arthritis however the impact of running does accelerate arthritis faster than the lower impact of walking. And yes footwear and orthotics vs barefoot running is another topic that is being investigated further. Here is one abstract that looked at force of walking vs running. Impact Forces of Walking and Running at the Same Intensity. Swain DP1, Kelleran KJ, Graves MS, Morrison S. Author information 1 1Department of Human Movement Sciences, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA; and2School of Physical Therapy and Athletic Training, Old Dominion University, Norfolk, VA. Abstract Moderate-intensity walking (horizontal, WH), vigorous-intensity walking (incline, WI), and vigorous-intensity running (horizontal, R) were compared. The hypothesis is that running creates greater loading forces than walking even at the same aerobic intensity. Young adults (10 M and 10 F; age, 22.8 ± 0.5 years) performed 3 exercise trials in a counter-balanced order: walking 5.5 kph at 0% grade (WH); walking 5.5 kph at 11% (WI); and running at 8.0 kph at 0% (R). Oxygen consumption (V[Combining Dot Above]O2), step frequency, peak vertical ground reaction force (VGRF), and vertical force loading rate were recorded during the last 5 minutes of each trial. Results are mean ± SE. Net V[Combining Dot Above]O2 during WH (10.5 ± 0.3 ml·min·kg) was significantly less than WI (26.3 ± 0.3) and R (25.1 ± 0.7 ml·min·kg). Step frequency was significantly greater during R (163 ± 1.5 steps per minute) than both walking conditions (WH, 128 ± 1.0 steps per minute; WI, 126 ± 1.2 steps per minute). Peak VGRF was significantly greater during running (844 ± 47 N) than both walking conditions (WH, 581 ± 27 N; WI, 565 ± 28 N). Force loading rate was significantly greater with R (8,214 ± 26 N·s) than WH (6,497 ± 15 N·s ) and WI (5,699 ± 16 N·s ), with WH > WI. Vigorous-intensity walking produced no greater loading forces than moderate-intensity walking. However, running at a vigorous intensity produced substantially greater loading forces than walking of the same intensity. These findings suggest that vigorous aerobic exercise may be performed without elevated orthopedic stress, depending on the mode prescribed. Thanks for watching.

@@TalkingWithDocs Thank you for your response and information

Hello and thank you for the information. I have to go to get the stiches out it will be 3 weeks since the surgery. My question is how do I sit in a car seat. Is it safe because it can be a bit low

Hi kath. You are very welcome. Usually it is ok. Just go slowly. The main risk would be leaning far foward which would increase the amount of flexion at the hip. Best of luck and congrats on being well on the way to recovery. Thanks for watching, subscribing and sharing if you did.

great vid gentlemen. my question to the both of you is, are there any braces a person could wear after surgery to limit movement and minimize the risk of dislocation?

@TalkingWithDocs

Hi kenneth. That is a good question. Ideally the hip should be stable enough to not need a brace. We talk a lot about dislocation but thankfully it is very rare. Just do what you are told. Be careful. Get the muscles strong. And enjoy your new hip! Thanks for watching and subscribing if you did.

Do y’all have a video yet on what to do in preparation pre/post-op for hip labral repair?

🇬🇧🇬🇧I’m two and half weeks after my THR. Thank you so much for your videos. So helpful. Especially the bit about the leg being swollen. I was a bit worried about that as my leg is quite swollen. But I have had 11 layers of stitches on the muscle. The pain the first week was unbearable but now a lot lot better. I’m on crutches now and getting through it. Thanks from the UK 🇬🇧 x

You are so welcome!

Having a Right THR on 11/19. Bone spurs, cysts and no cartilage in my hip. 60 years old. BMI of 23. I have pointy/poky pain, AM limping, and aches/burn in the PM.Taking some ibuprofen, but I am still able to dance, hike, and yesterday ran up two flights of stairs without holding the railing. How long (ballpark) might it take to get back to hiking on the dirt? With trekking poles? Without?
