Restricted fitting hip replacement

Posted , 1 user is following.

Hi,

Following several occasions of partial dislocation, I have been advised to have revision surgery using a more secure fitting known as a "Restricted Fitting" in which the ball is retained mechanically in the socket.

The down side is that there is some loss in the freedom of movement.

Has anyone had experience of this fitting please? Id be very grateful for any advice thank you
