Left furlong
Posted , 3 users are following.
I received my appointment letter yesterday and in addition to the dates and timings it indicated that I will be having a 'left furlong
total hip replacement'.
I am not sure what the term left furlong means?
Can anyone help please?

I just looked it up and found Furlong is the name of the type of hip replacement invented by a surgeon called Furlong.

I've had zero issues with this - my range of movement is just superb. Occasional discomfort when laying on operated side but that is probably scar tissue from the 3 major operations on that hip.
frequently walk over 5 miles with the dog - no pain or discomfort.
Brilliant.

That's encouraging news!

I'm at the point now where it barely crosses my mind that I have even had a hip replacement - feels as strong and as flexible as my 'good' leg.
