Aloha Dr.Bose,
My post op update:
I have had a remarkable experience as I have had no problems at all.I have been a bit Conservative with my exercises but as of last week I walk atleat two or three miles on the beach daily.I have never had pain or swelling since the surgery.
Dr.Bose,and Mohan,
It has been almost two and a half years since I journeyed to Chennai for my Birmingham hip replacement, and for the most part things are good with my new hip joint. The experience has had a profound effect on my life. I have since cut my long hair, and am still living in Alaska and enjoying my mobility once again. In the past few years I have had a return to pain free activities.The traditional Total Hip Replacement (THR), invariably have a 'Metal on Plastic' bearing. These are reasonably successful in elderly relatively inactive patients, but offers unacceptably poor long term outcomes for young, active patients often with unavoidable multiple revision surgeries and associated complications. It is to avoid this unfortunate sequence of events that Hip Resurfacing Surgery(HRS)was developed.
