    Hi Wack, 

    I'm on my second revision, the rehab is longer than the original replacement but the good news is that after years of leg difference I am finally on even ground! 

    Good luck

      Leg length issues r individual and drs use measurements on table X-ray and prothesis to comes as close as possible. Yet sometime if too far off this can set a whole trin wreck into place. Back hip knee alignment issues 

       

      i am sorry  it's so much more than normal THR. I am headed for revision soon.. Revision is way more complex than THR. LONGER REHAB bigger implants many women cannot due to small bones. I'm hoping for the best..I am sorry  that u have had to endure so much. I hope UR can get to a better place soon.

      cheers 

      HOPE

    Leg length is always a issue with THR. Sometime lifts in shoes help.

    i am doing a hip revision to. Recalled by manufacturer. Revisions are much more complicated and longer rehab than normal thr.

    ihave been thru 3 & to tell u the truth One day I am totally indifferent the next I am grateful for THR CONSIDERING THE ALTERNATIVE,

    it it sound like the ligament is giving u problems as it has always been a lasting painful issue for me. I did a lot OfPt for the first and second hip for treating ligaments helped a lot and the kneee issues was always undercurrent fron stress from feh abbs after surgery and arthritis.let us know what u find out in July wish u the best of luck.

    CHEERS

    Good luck for when it finally happens. Try to keep up as much muscle strength as you can ready for rehab, plan for your post-op care, then go for it.
