Progress following THR
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi, for your THR if your surgeon has used the following hip stem
Furlong Evolution
then how has your recovery been? How long after the op were you able to walk unaided? Pain free? Resumed normal life (work etc)? I am having my LTHR towards the end of this month and the above will be used instead of the longer standard stem. Just wanted to know what to expect. Thanks and best wishes, Harry

check with the manufacturer of you THR components online and the National Joint Registry. Or Call your drs office for further info. Every dr has a preference per patient on components fit and manufacturer. There are many to choose from. My dr had several manufacture companies & styles with components out on display. It was like a puzzle to mix and match the correct components to fit each one precisely. They were heavy. Each one weighs anywhere from 3-5 #'s.
It may help you to see the parts online rather than the X-ray. The X-ray looks very similar to mine. In general they are similar in some ways and very different in application and design in other ways. If cement or cementless , press fit ...etc. There are many manufacturers of components and different styles and sizes.
My first implant in my femor had holes in the prothesis designed for the bone growth to attach and secure the implant.
Hope this make sence?
Take care.
Hope

I have edited the original post to remove the vertical text. I don't know why you thought it was originally deleted, there is no sign of another post about this and there is no issue talking about this in the forums.
For info here's a link to the Clinical Trial about this
https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT01721278
I haven't read all of this thread but there seems to be confusion about PMs, images etc. There is an FAQ section linked at the bottom of every page to
https://patient.uservoice.com/knowledgebase/topics/59133-discussion-forums
which will answer any queries or you can contact me at any time.
Regards,
Alan

Thanks for the info.
I sent the original post then it disappeared. I assumed it was deleted (as it was referring to a specific commercial product). It may have been my system misbehaving again!... apologies ...
Just one clarification please: are PM's also moderated?
Thanks
Harry

No PMs are just that - Private Messages.
Re your original post, we have had some feedback about issues with Win 10 that we are looking at. See FAQ below if you do "lose" posts.

I had all sorts of problems with that new browser 'Edge' in Windows 10.
I am using Windows 10 with Chrome without any problems.
