Does Cementing Help In Hip Replacement?
I had a total hip replacement in 2009. My hip has come out 5 times. My surgeon wants to go in and use cement to hold it in place. I do not want this. Why not just replace it or do a less invasive type revision? I cannot seem to get any useful information online or anywhere. What are my best options? Thanks

Hello
Thanks for posting
I have gone through your query and understand your concern.Before we jump into surgery we must look into the reason for dislocation that too 5 times.Cementing the Implant is a good option,but cementing alone may not work for you.
Just discuss the reason for dislocation with your doctor and if possible take a second opininon.
Take care
