#hip surgery

[ethaninthewilde]

I've had hip issues since I was born, hip dysplasia and perthes disease and interior hip anteversion (my femur's rotated inwards 50°, then my foot's rotated outwards about the same) and my femur on one leg is 4-5cm shorter than the other, developed arthritis at 15 and then recurrent bursitis. I was on the waitlist for surgery as a kid and it got scheduled and cancelled three times, then never ended up happening. Financial issues meant I couldn't get it privately, then when I moved to NSW I had to get on the waitlist over here and went straight back to the bottom of the list.

I got offered a cancellation spot three weeks from now. I know it's not going to fix everything wrong with it, it's the first of three surgeries I need, but once I have this first one the next two are guaranteed to be only months apart, and I'm so happy about it I'm trying not to cry on the train. My physio says these surgeries should fix about 95% of the pain I experience, which has gotten so bad over the last year that I regularly can't sleep without codeine, it wakes me up in the middle of the night, and sometimes I just can't sleep at all.

I'll be spending christmas alone in the hospital most likely, but I literally don't care!!! i'm so happy. i'm so relieved. this doesn't feel real. this feels life saving. god.

ayo hip dysplasia hotties!!

If ur having pao surgery or whatever hip surgery you might be having, heres a tip

when i had my first one they told me to stop taking my birth control one month before my surgery date. All fair and good cuz birth control can cause blood clotting or something idk

BUT I discovered that this means my period came during my first fucking week of recovery. When, yknow I wasnt allowed to move one of my legs or sit without reclining or shower. That sucked a LOT.

SO I BRING A SOLUTION!!!

STOP TAKING BIRTH CONTROL A MONTH AND TWO ISH WEEKS BEFORE YOUR SURGERY

im having my second one in ~a month and two weeks and ill report back afterwards if this life hack works

cuz that shit also gave me a fucking yeast infection which sucked so bad frfr

INCOMING FUNDRAISER MARATHON!

@lusterlazuli and I are going to be streaming all through next week to raise money for my upcoming hip surgery! The marathon is from September 8th to September 15th! (We will be continuing to fundraise after the marathon ends, though!)

SURGERY: For those unaware, I need hip surgery due to hip dysplasia, femoral anteversion, and labral tears. My hip surgery is on November 12! So our fundraising efforts will continue until Nov 11! We are fundraising for medical expenses and for living expenses while I'm out of work recovering!

INCENTIVES: We have already raised some money pre-marathon and hit a bunch of our incentives! OUR TOTAL AT TIME OF THIS POSTING IS ACTUALLY $565. Come by and help us get to the top! (P.S. We have a lot of stretch goal incentives not pictured for if we get past $4K! These may or may not include a souls-like playthrough!)

For example, donating $15 while I'm live will make me spin the Wheel of Pain! There's a chance for me to have to eat a raw grape tomato. Or put on wet socks. Disgusting. I will scream. You should totally do it.

PRIZES: Our top donors will get special prizes, all hand-drawn by yours truly! If we reach the goal of $4K, our top donor will be the winner of a custom Live2D model!!

14 years ago on September 29, my orthopaedic doctor installed a birmingham hip in place of my right hip joint. thankful for modern medicine and the encouragement of my tumblr friends to get on with life after the surgery..

Hey everyone!

Guess what? Ya girl finally got her hip surgery!

For those of you who have been around a while, you know how much I have struggled in the past to get the necessary treatment for my chronic pain. It took nine years to get my hip dysplasia and femoroacetabular impingement fixed.

On Monday, January 16th, I had a hip arthroscopy to fix the damaged cartilage and a periacetabular osteotomy to reposition my hip. This was an intensive surgery and it's going to take me 6-9 months to fully recover.

Moving around is going to be difficult so I made an Amazon wishlist of items to make movement easier and recovery more comfortable. Please help if you can, even if it is just sharing this post!

Thank you to everyone who has offered me emotional and/or financial support in the past, for all the well wishes and shoulders to cry on. The past nine years has been so emotionally draining that it's a bit hard to believe I'm in recovery now. Fingers crossed this surgery gives me lasting results. 🙏🏻

Tips to Prepare for Labral Repair & Hip Impingement Surgery

Hey Guys!

I wanted to share my tips for preparing for labral repair and hip impingement correction surgery. If you've read some of my prior posts you may have seen that when the surgeon went into my hip he actually did not find a tear; my tissue was perfectly intact.

So even though I didn't get the labral repair, my prepping for surgery tips remain the same because that is the surgery I was preparing for. Also, as far as recovery, I'm still following the same protocol as someone who did get a labral repair because I still underwent a surgery and I still got the extra bone growth shaved down to address the hip impingement.

Okay so here are my Surgery Prep Tips:

Enjoy Life :) I decided to get my surgery before the start of summer because that worked best with my work schedule, but I was sad about having to miss out on many summer activities. I love the summer. So I did as many fun things as I wanted to do before the surgery so I wouldn't feel as sad about what I would be having to miss during recovery.

WORKOUT! Surgeons call this pre-hab. Strengthening the muscles surrounding your hips and legs as best you can will only help you during recovery. The muscle memory will still be there when you start physical therapy and start walking properly be there. During my first two weeks of PT, my PT asked if I was athletic because I was able to do the exercises better than she expected I guess lol

Eat Healthy. A few months prior to surgery I tried to kick my health stuff up a notch. I've already been trying to be more intentional about what I am eating over the past few years anyway, but 2-3 months prior to surgery I was trying to revv up my Vitamin C and Vitamin D. I drank green juices a few times a week, took a multivitamin each day, tried to eat a proper serving of vegetables each day, lowered my alcohol intake (probably a month before surgery), and tried to drink enough water each day to make sure my body was hydrated going into surgery.

Create a Peaceful Recovery Space. I knew I was going to be in my room majority of the day for a few months. So I decluttered my space and re-organized and/or added things that would be peaceful to look at (ex. my plants & candles)

Put Important Things within Reach. All of the things I would need, I tried my best to put within reach of my bed. I received a "grabber" in my hip kit from the hospital to help me grab things within reach since I wasn't able to bend or twist much.

Consider a Mini-fridge & Microwave in Room. I live in a 2-story apartment with the kitchen on a different floor than my bedroom so a mini-fridge in my room was essential. In there I had a brita water pitcher, fruits, and other things I wanted to snack on.

Consider a Removable Shower Head. I had got one, but didn't use it because I tried to install it the night before and I couldn't get the old shower head off. And then when I went to shower after surgery I was able to do so with help from my mom so I just let the removable shower head go, but install it if you can because it would be really helpful.

Ask Surgical Team about Hip Kit. So the social work team at the hospital handled ordering items to help me with recovery such as a shower chair and a raised toilet seat. They also told me that I would receive a Hip Kit from the hospital the day of surgery. This Hip Kit is VERY important because it includes items to help you reach for things and put on your clothes and shoes since you aren't supposed to bend much. BUT when I was done with surgery they were saying goobye and I was like "wait where is my hip kit?" They were looking at me like HIP KIT?!?! So apparently someone didn't communicate with the OT department who was responsible for putting the kit together and they had to put it together last minute because I wasn't leaving without one. If they don't provide one, you can order one online.

Stock up on Gatorade and Meal Prep. The gatorade has a lot of electrolytes to help w/ recovery (they even had me drink one the morning of surgery). I had my mom to cook for me, but even she got tired of cooking lol. It would have been nice if I cooked as much as I could and froze the meals to have them ready to go.

Get Ice Packs. I had a small ice pack, but needed to order a bigger one during my first week of surgery to cover my thigh and hip at the same time.

Have Things to Do. You may get REALLY BORED. I definitely did. So I made sure to have things ready to keep me busy. Books to read, shows/movies to watch, games to play, etc etc.

I hope this is helpful and if you have anything to include from your experience or have any questions feel free to comment 😊😊😊

I've had pain and mobility issues with my right hip since the beginning of November. I just got the results back from a recent MRI. They were looking for a labral tear in the cartilage, which they found, but also I apparently have a fracture through 50% of the connecting bone and a severe edema. I'm not exactly sure what it all means because I haven't had the follow up with my doctor yet. But it most likely means surgery.

[gwyneirastorm]

I'm in so much pain tonight. I didn't have this much pain right after my surgery. My knee is throbbing. Its like I took all the pain from my hip and shifted it down one joint. Doc says its because my muscles in my leg are weak and the knee relies on muscle strength to work. Doesn't make it hurt any less. I just want relief and a good night's sleep.

Hip vs. Knee Implants: How to Choose the Right One for Your Active Lifestyle

For active individuals suffering from joint pain, stiffness, or reduced mobility, choosing the right implant for hip or knee replacement surgery can significantly impact recovery, long-term performance, and quality of life. But how do you decide which implant is the right choice for your lifestyle and specific needs? This blog will break down the key factors in hip and knee implants, helping you make an informed decision while exploring modern advancements in joint replacement technology.

Hip Implants: Designed for Freedom of Motion

What Makes a Good Hip Implant?

A hip implant must replicate the smooth, ball-and-socket movement of your natural joint. For active individuals, durability, flexibility, and reduced wear are critical. Modern hip implants often use materials like:

Ceramic-on-Ceramic: Ideal for younger, active patients due to its longevity and minimal wear.

Metal-on-Polyethylene: Durable and cost-effective, suitable for moderate activity levels.

Benefits for an Active Lifestyle

Hip implants are designed to restore a full range of motion, making them perfect for activities like walking, cycling, and even light sports. They also tend to have a longer lifespan, with many lasting 15–20 years or more.

Who Needs a Hip Implant?

If you have advanced arthritis, avascular necrosis (bone death), or severe hip fractures that limit daily movement, a hip implant can provide relief and restore mobility.

Knee Implants: Built for Stability and Support

What Makes a Good Knee Implant?

Knee implants must mimic the complex bending and rotating motion of a natural knee joint. For active individuals, the focus is on strength, balance, and joint stability. Common implant materials include:

Metal-on-Polyethylene: A popular choice offering durability and reduced wear.

Ceramic-on-Polyethylene: A newer option with better wear resistance and reduced inflammation risks.

Benefits for an Active Lifestyle

Knee implants are designed to support high-impact activities like hiking, running, and other sports. Advanced designs now include minimally invasive and robotic-assisted procedures, ensuring precise placement for optimal outcomes.

Who Needs a Knee Implant?

If you suffer from osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or ligament damage that causes chronic pain and instability, a knee implant can help you regain your active lifestyle.

How to Decide Between Hip and Knee Implants?

The decision ultimately depends on the joint causing the most pain and the impact on your daily life. Consider the following factors:

Pain Location: If hip pain limits walking, sitting, or climbing stairs, a hip implant is likely needed. If knee pain makes standing, running, or bending difficult, a knee implant may be the solution.

Activity Level: Choose implants suited to your activity level. Discuss with your surgeon whether ceramic, metal, or a hybrid material is best for your lifestyle.

Age and Health: Younger, active patients may benefit from ceramic implants due to their longevity, while older individuals may prefer metal-on-polyethylene for its durability.

Modern Surgical Techniques for Joint Replacement

Thanks to advances like robotic-assisted surgery, hip and knee replacements are now more precise and minimally invasive, reducing recovery time and improving outcomes. Patients can expect quicker returns to their favorite activities with minimal discomfort.

Choosing the right surgeon is as important as selecting the right implant. Dr. Saurabh Giri, a leading joint replacement and arthroscopy specialist, has over 14 years of experience in performing successful hip and knee replacements.

Optimal Resting Positions After Hip Replacement Surgery

Recovering from hip replacement surgery requires careful attention to how you rest and move. Proper resting positions can significantly impact your healing process, reduce discomfort, and prevent complications. At Bayside Orthopaedics Cleveland, led by Dr. Sanjay Joshi, we prioritize your recovery by providing expert guidance and personalized care. Here’s how to rest optimally after hip surgery in Cleveland.

Why Proper Resting Positions Matter

After hip replacement surgery, your body needs time to heal. The right resting positions can:

Minimize strain on your new joint.

Prevent stiffness or swelling.

Reduce the risk of dislocation or injury. By following these guidelines, you can enhance your recovery experience.

Best Resting Positions After Hip Replacement Surgery

1. On Your Back with a Pillow Between Your Legs

Lying on your back is one of the safest positions post-surgery. Use a firm pillow between your legs to keep your hips aligned and prevent unnecessary pressure on your joint.

2. Elevate Your Upper Body Slightly

Use a wedge pillow or an adjustable bed to elevate your torso slightly. This position reduces swelling and improves circulation, aiding the healing process.

3. Side-Lying on the Non-Operative Side

If you prefer lying on your side, only lie on the non-operative side. Place a supportive pillow between your knees to maintain alignment and avoid stress on your hip.

Positions to Avoid

1. Crossing Your Legs

Crossing your legs while sitting or lying down can strain your hip joint, increasing the risk of dislocation.

2. Lying on Your Stomach

Avoid sleeping or resting on your stomach, as it can put undue pressure on your new hip and cause discomfort.

3. Deep Sitting or Low Chairs

Sitting in deep or low chairs can increase stress on your hip joint. Use firm, high-seated chairs with armrests for support.
