Precautions After Posterior Total Hip Replacement

[@tinadavies4195]

I get my hip done on 7/11.. I have been to joint school to prepare me for when I get home..don't do it like this..do it like this..wrong..right.. your videos are much clearer to me than what was told in hospital.. thanks

[@Sternschnuppen85]

Great video!

[@anthonycukier1807]

If you do it by mistake without dislocating the joint, but just feel pain, is it bad ?

[@davecullen5986]

Great video thanks tell me how do I re locate a dislocated hip if I'm miles from civilization?

[@starbright1256]

I'm finding it a challenge to not be past 90 degrees

[@siti6015]

agree

[@daunwright458]

It's tough but doable, going through this right now

[@Iloveflowers2024]

It is something to be constantly mindful about. I recently had my hip done, and it is there in my mind each time I move. I Almost broke the rule a couple of times, and I caught myself in time. And this is just my first week. I expect it could get even more challenging as one feels better and moving around more, and no longer using the walker. It shows how much we move in our everyday lives, just doing the simplest of tasks like picking something up off the floor, bending forward. Etc. Wishing everyone a safe and speedy recovery. We don't want dislocations, so take it easy, slow down, pause. This is a reminder for me too. Be careful everyone. 😊❤

My surgeon said I have ‘no limitations’ with my anterior replacement and that now, I can put on my socks and shoes?? I’m very confused as every video seems to have different information??

[@RianThara]

It depends from person to person and the best teacher will be uiur surgeon . I just finished my surgery was asked to rest for 7days only on the 8th day i was allowed to sit and walk using walker.

[@billsauber881]

The video tells many things not to do, but never says WHY!! What is the result if the hip flexes past 90 degrees? what is damaged when rotating the toe inward?

[@PetsNPatients]

The stem can pop out of the ceramic ball joint

[@Buchwaldjc]

There are three major approaches to a hip replacement: anterior, lateral, and posterior. During a posterior approach some major muscle groups are cut, including the major hip extensor, the gluteus maximus, as well as the hip external rotators. Therefore, It is theorized that going into excessive flexion can cause instability because you do not have the hip extensors to control it. Likewise going into excessive internal rotation can lead instability because you don't have the hip external rotators to control it.

[@mrmr314]

This would be if you had the posterior approach? Because apparently if you had the anterior or SuperPATH approach this does not hold? Shouldn't your vlog be saying exactly that?

[@ElizaLou75]

It says in the beginning it's for posterior hip replacement. And the title card says the same thing.

[@siti6015]

how long or for whole life after been operated, may not more than 90° ?

[@carolschedler3832]

Your doctor will tell you the protocols exactly for you and how long. He/she knows exactly how the surgery was performed (many ways to do each approach) and your individual circumstances. This allows gentle, uninterrupted healing. Blessings!

[@pannamal5182]

Many restrictions, would an anterior be better if possible?

[@sherrid5315]

I heard more dislocations with that not sure ! No restrictions!

[@carolschedler3832]

There are advantages and disadvantages to each approach. Finding a great doctor who is great at his approach is more important.

[@tumblewheed5994]

YIKES! Now I'm getting anxious. How long do you not do these things...like forever after, or just a period of a couple few months?

[@maryellentantillo5325]

1 year out I dislocated my hip sitting in a chair bending down to pick something off the floor it was extremely painful and I was home alone very scary somehow I reached a phone to call 911. Now I am 30 days out from I still recovering. I say be careful always

[@tumblewheed5994]

@@maryellentantillo5325 Oh my gosh! Please say you're joking! You mean the days of putting my socks and shoes on like a normal person are over!?

[@maryellentantillo5325]

@@tumblewheed5994 think about how you put them on I get on my bed do not dangle your feet and reach down that is overreaching, lay on your bed raise the knee and then put on the sock on it is working for me just need not go over 90 percent. I see my doctor at the end of the month and going to go over the restriction’s again because he told I had none and then a dislocated hip

[@johnre5342]

​@@tumblewheed5994if you have a successful hip replacement you should be able to put on socks from 2-3 months

[@andreah6379]

​@@tumblewheed5994This video said 3 months. But one other commenter said she had trouble bending down after 1 year, had to call 911 for help. Then I also hear it depends how skilled your doctor is. My own orthopedic doctor told me I have to shrink myself down after surgery to dislocate and all he does are posterior. If you do anterior you don't have any precautions! Posterior should be outlawed. Nobody wants to dislocate their hip, ever, especially at 2am. I fear moving wrong in my sleep.

I had full range of movement after 10 days, but dislocated the hip by laying flat on a bed, the weight of my leg pulled downwards, lifting the socket upwards and out of joint 😢

[@mikeybinsd]

What does a hip dislocation feel like

[@billiebluesheepie2907]

@@mikeybinsd - it feels like a pulling, like just as you go into a cramp, but once its fully out it’s incredibly painful - more painful than a break (although my 2nd break was more painful than my first, it wasn’t like the tearing/stabbing/pulling pain of a dislocation). The worse pain was being log rolled every four hours for a week (to check for pressure sores) with a dislocated hip, as they didn’t know what to do with me and it was Easter week so they had less staff on, I still have nightmares about how it scraped and tore at my soft tissues. Eventually they put in a pelvic liner and captive collar to hold the ball joint in and it hasn’t come out again, yet.

[@shaikalavudeen3867]

This is life time restrictions or how?

[@Lolipop59]

Listen to the first sentence ! You didn't listen and just ask questions or what ? He says you must follow this restrictions forot three month after surgery .

[@monali9236]

@@Lolipop59 that means after three months there are no possibilities of disclosen?? And no movement restrictions like cant bend more than 90 degrees??

[@emmavhopkins]

@@monali9236 no it does not mean there are no possibilities of dislocation. If you have been doing the exercises and physical therapy that is required for a total hip replacement then after the three months you should be able to use the hip at more than a 90° angle. But the stronger the muscles around the hip are the less likely it is to dislocate.

I'm six months out from anterior hip replacement surgery & feel good. I walk for exercise but want to do more. Does anyone know how long the precautions in a video such as this need to be followed? I haven't gotten a clear answer from my surgeons office & am really anxious to do more outside.

[@malditaako9060]

My doctor told me that I can move without precautions after 6 months of my bilateral total hip replacement, but for me to feel safer, Ive waited for a year. Now, Im doing different movements and positions except running and jumping.

[@andreah6379]

Anterior isn't the issue here. Anterior has no precautions.

[@malditaako9060]

Anterior's precaution is "do not extend your leg backward" for at least six months or until such time your doctor tells you to do so.

This is impossible
