Ganz Osteotomy Surgery - What to Expect

[@sheriaragon]

Just had this done along with a labral repair which was worse than expected. I watched this before the surgery and watching again just to realize how crazy it all is.

I'm supposed to have this surgery done very soon. How are you feeling right now? I'm quite nervous about the procedure and would love to know your experience. If you don’t mind

@@user-yg1pe6wt2f I'm doing pretty good. No real issues to speak of except i get randomly tender, but i have been more mobile lately. Good luck and i wish you the best😇

@@sheriaragon I'm so glad to hear! I had my surgery this week and all went well, just taking it day by day. I'm sure all get more mobile as time goes on. Wishing you well on you journey ❤

Was it this they always suggested and never a replacement? I am wondering why my Doctor went straight to the idea of replacement. I am 40 and need the right one done now, eventually will need the other one. I guess if I was young they would have cracked my pelvis instead. ??

@@thefraug3827 maybe you have more arthritis or something else going on?

[@brittany1991]

Can they perform a ganz as well as fix femoral anterversion?

[@deannevitiello5942]

I’m having a ganz to fix hip dysplasia & retroversion, as well as a hip arthroscopy on March 3rd. It’s all in one surgery. I think it can be done but I’m not a surgeon haha 😂

I wish this wasn't true, but these osteotomy surgeries ruin people's health and that of all the other people who have them done. The bone where they sawed afterwards doesn't stick properly anymore, it gets weak and it will slide little by little and sink inwards with time. I believe that a bone scar is left or for some other reason I don't know. Maybe it is left with little room to regenerate and becomes weak or another reason. It is not the same as a normal fracture where afterwards the bone becomes normal again. When you sawed it, or break it with a chisel, in this case it is different. The bone is left with a problem afterwards. Then the person gets all twisted because of this, as the bone sinks, it ends up twisting or sinks all the other bones of the body. If they do it in the lower limbs. But everywhere, it ends up disturbing people. Besides that, the nerves around where they do this also sink and leave their original place, and then the person starts to feel everything altered and only starts to feel bad things afterwards. Both in the external environment and in the body itself because of this. This surgery is a mistake in medicine, just as there are mistakes in any other profession. I don't know how it hasn't been forbidden until today, with so many people getting bad afterwards, I'm pretty sure all of them. It doesn't matter if it is done on the nose, leg, foot, heel, people end up getting bad the same way. I hope this comment helps. Take great care, health is very precious. After we lose it, our life becomes very difficult, and so does the life of the people around us, who end up being affected as well. A hug

Sorry yours didn’t go well. I don’t regret it at all. I’ve got my mobility back and have had an enormous reduction in pain. Risks and benefits to everything, but losing the ability to walk or even stand up from a chair is no good. What would you have people do instead of PAO?

[@KaarinJacobson]

Is the person who wrote this comment an orthopedic surgeon or someone who has this done? This surgery changed my life for the better and I have had no problems with my hip dysplasia since. It even straightened out my foot that pointed outwards and the leg that always felt longer than the other. THANK YOU, Dr. Hugate!

[@tiagot6516]

Hi Kaarin, I had this surgery and it's ruined my health to this day. It left me with a permanent problem. I don't know about you, but it happened to me. The one they did on me was called varus calcaneal osteotomy.
