--- Hip replacement limitations

Salut What reason did your surgeon give for refusing surgery? Did he/she expect you to a) lose weight, 2)employ physiotherapy or other less intrusive modalities? I'm genuinely wondering. Simply do not know what it might be. Thanks Zee
I had my left hip replaced in 1980 aged 42, my right hip replaced in 1983, both total hip prosthesis. I was able to return to work within 4 weeks, walk up to 3 miles, and ride a bycle. I still have the original left side prosthesis. Unfortunately, the right hip became infected recently and was replaced. The op was not successful and had a Girdlestone procedureth carried out. The surgeon told me at the time of the first operation that his only concern about operating on someone of my age was the probabilty that due to my age and being more active than an elder person, would need further replacements earlier than the expected lifespan of the prosthesis which was 10-15 years then. I would recommend you proceed with the procedure.
