Hip Replacement Surgery - What you need to know before, during and after

This is the best video I've seen on this subject, and I watched many. Wish I had seen it before my surgery. Everything from how to prepare before, during, and after surgery is so clearly explained. Honestly this video should be recommended in the patients care package by any surgeon doing this surgery. Kudos to whom ever did all the work for this video, truly excellent!!

We are human beings being human, I should say we are not human beings we are animals just like our pets in the food we eat. We are not supposed to kill and eat our Children as we are doing today. This is blue planet, animal planet where laws orders rules of engagements predator versus prey continuously in play. Legalized Abortion is also legalized baby killing murder and what we kill we must eat so readily available abortion is also legalized cannibalism. there is a better way celibacy and immaculate conceptions Outer-course which will make Intercourse a interpersonal behavior of the past just like what orthopedic neurosurgeons and psychiatrist are doing

[@jefesalsero]

One of the things you should know before hip surgery is that things may not happen according to your expected timeline. One pre-operative lab value (low platelets, low iron, etc.) can cause a delay - no, you won't be seeing the surgeon when you expected, you'll be detoured to an appointment with a Hematologist who then plays a crucial role in whether or not you're getting surgery and when you're having it. This could mean surgery pushed back by weeks or months. Any number of things could occur that might cause a delay in your surgery, including the pace at which your insurance company works in approving the surgery. There is a lot to getting a surgery approved, both clinically and financially, that one may want to consider. Expectations may need to be adjusted and patience with the process is key.

[@cathyb5759]

I have had TJR surgery and here is what I learned. Before During and After Total Hip Replacement - My Advice kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqfKd6xqm8uFm68

[@georgeacenas2349]

Im a post acute nursing manager & have few residents who’ve had hip replacement surgery. Multiple factors allow a hospitalized patient to return directly home versus requiring inpatient rehabilitation as a bridge to home. My elective surgery patient does not have family support appears to be a factor requiring post acute rehab/subacute rehab (SAR). A 2nd factor is pre operative physical condition. He admits he was not physically active before surgery. At 200 lb & 5 ft 0in, his Body mass index 39 (high is >30) doesn’t indicate optimal dietary habits. I like this video citing another adverse factor -smoking and nicotine. Perhaps, health and wellness education needs to start earlier in the lifespan? TV needs content that helps us be healthy. On TV I see crime dramas. I look over 6 y/o kids shoulder and see him playing video game with a virtual sub machine gun. Whatever happened to Jack Lalane physical fitness shows or Wonderama TV that guide us more towards health? To get to work I wear sneakers briefly alternate jogs with walking w/ goal to increase my heart rate ~100. I also do home strength workouts. Push-ups, lat- pulls, dumbbell curls. Core training includes Roman chair/ sit ups etc. For beverages I only drink water/seltzer water or coffee w/ Splenda sweeteners. Food- I follow the US dietary plate pie chart. I also saw a Glycemic index food guide covering numerous ethnic cuisines. My motivation is personal/ I dream of returning to surf. The wave line up and Nature would seem to reward non-obese paddlers for waves. So I am using my athletic interest to keep me healthy- otherwise I have FOMO( fear of missing out) on a wave to someone more fit than me at 57 y/o (BMI 23.5), 😂 . Bottom line, nature will also reward lifetime healthy physically fit pre operative patients. The post operative physical therapy is just another medical version of exercise. Parents should rear their young early in healthy lifestyle- natural hip degeneration/fall fracture is destiny for some of us.

[@myfurbabies5645]

Elective surgery? Why would you say that. Mine was not. Please explain

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I think they said that because it's up to us to decide if we want to get the surgery done or not. (Once we are eligible for it) for instance, right now I am eligible to get it done. I have seen the surgeon and had the x rays, I am in pain, mobility is compromised, and doctor said yes I am eligible to get it done. But at the end of the day it is up to me to when I am ready to get it done. No one is making me do it. It's my choice. It isn't a life saving procedure. But It is definitely a "quality of life" saving procedure though. Otherwise people would end up in a wheelchair. I am sure some choose not to get the surgery. My father has major hip problem and struggles to get around using a walking frame. He chooses not to get the surgery though. He's 88 years old. No one is making him get it done.

No alternate options except hip replacement??

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I think stem cell therapy. Would have to pay out of pocket. They take stem cells and inject into the area and whatever cartilage there is left it can make it regenerate. I know that's available for knees. I know someone who had it done for her knee and paid a few thousand dollars for it. It helped her to prolong having knee replacement but eventually she still had to have the surgery. I think the stem cell therapy worked only temporary for her. Not sure of her whole story. But there's information online about stem cell therapy. I would try it if it was affordable. Unfortunately I had both my knees replaced and now my hip is causing issues.

I am watching this video, and it scares me real bad. I have 2 bad knees, and bad right hip. I watched the stairs thing, and it would be very hard for me to do. My left knee is real bad, and it would be the right hip. I would not be able to use the left leg for the support as they say to do. I have a bad spine also. The whole thing seems unreal for me to be able to do, and for how long, Problem is support at home. I was wondering if anybody had similar issues.

[@Iloveflowers2024]

I would think things get more complicated if someone has multiple joint issues and more than one health concern. I had both my knees replaced over a decade ago at the same time because Both were equally bad. I basically didn't have a good leg to stand on. It was very difficult and extremely painful. now I need my hip to be done. My knees are ok but I still get some slight pain in them, and soreness I just think it's soft tissue pain That's what my rheumatologist says. I have rheumatoid arthritis and osteo arthritis and fibro. And it's just this juggling act to do things. My shoulder hurts too. And I have arthritis in my lower back too. My feet, hands. So I understand when there's multiple joint issues. It's not easy. And many people do not understand. I do not know what the answer would be for you. I am sorry. I would think it's something you would have to talk with a surgeon about in detail. And they would advise you what joint to do first. If you have insurance and you don't have help at home. And have difficult situation. You may be able to go to a rehab facility after the surgery and be taken care of for the first couple of weeks. I am blessed to have at least one person to help when I have surgery. but I know many who don't. They pay someone, pay a service. Like comfort keepers, or visiting angels. or reach out to people in the community, church. Etc. I can imagine it is very hard and lonely for some who struggle wth these things on their own. I am with someone and still find it hard as he is working a lot and I do as much as I can myself as I don't like to bother him. And I don't have friends around here as we moved. And so I'm on my own a lot. It sounds like you need to get at least one joint done and somehow get through it. If you feel you have weight to lose, try and lose some weight as that will help for surgery and does take stress off the joints. Physical therapy can be helpful for arthritis. I hope you find answers and get the help you need. Maybe you've had something done since you wrote your post 9 months ago. How's things now?

[@hayleymarie9071]

@@karishort1891 it went pretty good all things considered! as a frame of reference: i'm 23, overweight and out of shape admittedly, walked with a cane for 12 years, and needed the surgery to fix a birth defect + the arthritis that resulted from it. so i wasn't exactly primed for surgery, but still found that my recovery and when i hit certain milestones lined up with the rough estimations usually given by doctors for hip replacements and other people's recovery stories that i read online i found the first two weeks were the worst of it pain-wise, which seems to be the common consensus. i used a walker for the first 10 days, then migrated to a cane for a bit, and come two weeks post surgery, give or take a few days, i was able to walk on my own unassisted, just using walls/furniture/etc. to keep myself steady. i had my replacement on august 31st, and as of right now i am walking better than every with very limited, manageable pain. if you want to know anything specific please let me know! in the meantime i'll just jot down a few things that come to mind that helped me out during recovery ❤️ - if your neighbour is deciding between a 4-wheeled or 2-wheeled walker, i'd recommend the 2. i used both but found the 2-wheeled to feel much sturdier and i had the same amount of mobility as when i was using the 4-wheeled one (also get tennis balls to put on the back legs to reduce scuffing your floors up!) - i didn't buy some myself, but i'd suggest getting a few pairs of grippy socks especially since it's getting colder - the hospital provided me with a pair during my brief stay and they were very handy for not slipping! if your neighbour doesn't like them, for around the house i walked in my bare feet. just walking in socks alone is a big no, and i never wore slippers so i can't say personally but it's recommended not to wear anything with an open back or that are loose on your feet - i experienced a lot of wound leakage, which is totally normal but a huge hassle, especially if the bandage isn't sealed on properly and, y'know, leaks everywhere. it's going to sound funny, but i actually bought some of those blue puppy pads to sit under my butt as a precaution wherever i sat/on my bed and it saved me from a lot of potential messes! - when the time comes that your neighbour is able to walk around their home without any mobility equipment, i'd still recommend using a cane while they're out and about at least for a few days. one of my biggest struggles during my recovery was feeling off-balance, so having a cane to keep me steady really helped me in that department - having a back-scratcher was a godsend and i cannot stress this enough lol. you're not allowed to twist or bend much for a while post-op, so i'd definitely tell your neighbour to get one that's all that's coming to mind right now, but yeah if you want any more info let me know! i wish your neighbour a speedy recovery when the time comes 💕

[@hayleymarie9071]

@@karishort1891 @Kari Short no problem! and unfortunately i can't say much about driving, since i don't have a license. but! i read up a bit more about it and it's wholly dependent on what leg he would be having done - if it's the left, they say about 2 weeks or so, but if it's the right being replaced then it could be upwards of 4 weeks/a month before he can safely go behind the wheel again. i'd recommend him to ask what his surgeon's opinion on the whole matter is just to be sure though! and thank you so much! 💕

Exceptionally informative and comprehensive video! But I cannot understand why quite a few members of the care team, as well as the patients don't wear face masks, given it is filmed during the pandemic. It's a safety issue, in my country this similar lack of precautions in the medical settings is worrying. A maskless patient may introduce the virus to the medical team who will in turn may infect other patients.

[@HorizonNB]

Hi Ina, the filming began before the pandemic, that's why in some scenes people aren't wearing masks, but in most scenes they are.

It does seem to be like that these days... get you up & outta there to get the bed ready for the next client!

Who would wanna be awake for the surgery what the hell . Trust me don’t you don’t wanna see what there doing that would be hell . I remember coming out of surgery and there waking me up and I was jammed they gave me phyntenal yea I was jammed city she asked what I saw I thought I was a bee 🐝 flying in the hive and woke up to the lady asking me questions haha then the wife took a pic and I had a huge smile with the thumbs up👍🏻. Don’t skip your meds at least for a couple days last time I had it done on Monday and stopped taking the meds on Wednesday it’s a slippery slope with opioids so the quicker I was off the better . Oh yea the last time I get home and I’m walking into the living room on my crutches and I say to wife I feel dizzy? Then I wake up she’s screaming the kid is crying and I hear her say I can’t get him off me . I passed out from dehydration and luckily I didn’t hurt the hip and it took 8 firefighters to get me out onto the stretcher . She said I was fighting with them cause I just wanted to lay down ? I don’t remember that but my doctor said if they laid me down I would of been fine and they could of gave me some fluids so it is what it is . That was another day in the hospital sucked so drunk your fluids

I’ve had one hip replacement and on the 21st the second one, I hear what your saying, the best thing to do is WALK afterwards. Do the exercises, you will find that the pain is nothing like what you have now, ( mine is extreme). Remember to deep breathe and put yourself in a good place, don’t look at the needles…I hope you have a good friend to stay with and comfort your fears.
