History Of Trauma. Have Bone On Bone In Hip. Should Anterior Hip Replacement Be Done?

Hi! I m a ridiculously athletic white male, 6', 164 lbs who works out 7 days a week: gym; cycling (40-50 miles on Sat/Sun); Pilates (2 times a week); and rollerblading (5-10 miles twice a week)...that is the GOOD news, the bad, as just confirmed by an Ortho doc here in Vegas is my right hip is now 'bone on bone' due to 3 consecutive traumas to it in '95 when I was learning how to skate...osteo set in and, during the last decade, things have gotten to the point ther r now...I want to have the anterior hip replacement surgery ASAP but the surgeon I met with (who does lumbar work), says I m not in any 'danger' but would only suggest a well-respected surgeon IN IRVINE CA (321 miles away)....what can I do about this? Could I have the work done in SoCal, do the immediate rehab there, and then return to Vegas? And how much impact to my athletics can I expect once I recover from the surgery? Is blading out? Thanks....Marty Solomon

Orthopaedic Surgeon,  's  Response
Hello,

I have studied your case.

Anterior hip replacement surgery gives good results.
But returning to athletics need to be clarified by your joint surgeon.

You can do surgery in IRVINE CA at good surgeon.

Physiotherapist will help you better to learn more exercises in proper protocol.

Diet rich in calcium and protein will help for recovery.

Hope this answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your queries.

Wishing you good health.

Take care.
