Has anyone here had the experience of healing from a fracture which has been wired as well as a thr? I am just curious about their experience and recovery from it? Thanks

    Yes! I wrote a couple of posts about it but didn't get much response. Think we are quite rare!

    I am 13 weeks post op now and was non weight bearing for first 8 weeks.

    How are you doing?

    hi Cindy,

    I had 2 THR surgeries, no fractures though. .

    must be very challenging ...so much healing needs to take place. .

    are you full weight bearing?

    Basia, how are you getting on?

    Big warm hug to both of you.

    The only cure to hip joint is exercise , more you do exercises more you muscles will be strong to hold thud. I had foot drop after hip joint operation. The nerve got compressed due , which got released after operation , doctor told do exercise.which I doing . It's a time consuming process but treatment for this is exercise

    HI Cindy

    I had a fracture when I had a THR, the fracture was wired during surgery. I was limited to 20 percent weight bearing for 6 weeks and had to use two crutches. during the first 6 weeks I attended physio twice a week, I was off work for three months but went back to work without the need of a crutch or cane. I was back riding my horse three months later. 

    during the first six weeks go careful but continue with exercises and you should be fine.

    Wishing you well
