Just had this operation five days ago and am now on recovery. Already looking forward to doing things which were beyond me and am therefore well pleased. I would highly recommend anyone who is suffering from hip pain to seek this treatment.🥰

[@budkelly2300]

Wow, I am having this surgery next month and your video gave me a lot of mental ease. There's something about your accent that sounds so authoritative and assuring. Thanks.

[@wallyman1948]

This is a great video, nice to see how this process is completed. Thank you so much

[@RightRoad1904]

Fantastic Video Professor Thank you

[@jriver64]

Great job on this video, Dr. Hendrich. You have done a fabulous job informing the public of this important procedure of Hip Replacement.

My Total Hip Replacement Journey - Anterior Approach - Dr. Salyapongse, Dublin, California: August 29, 2018 I am Dr. Judith Gayle Olund, having earned my Doctorate Degree in Organizational Leadership in year 2012; however, today I will share with you a much more personal journey - my decision for a total hip replacement. Over my past 70 years, I have enjoyed a wonderfully active life that began with dancing lessons as a young child and have continuously enjoyed all physical activities throughout the years; even until most recently often dancing at the local pub Friday and Saturday nights for two to three hours straight. So yes, I ignored my slow but sure developing limp (over at least five years) and was finally diagnosed with osteoarthritis in my hips over one year ago (bone-on-bone). I never really considered surgery, feeling confident that perhaps losing a little weight would help with my developing limp. So...I did work at it; I lost some weight and also began a wonderful collection of shoes hoping that they would solve my “walking problem" which was becoming more and more pronounced. More recently, it was becoming a "challenge" to walk from the dancing pub to the pizza joint just three blocks down the road. My friends were wonderful, allowing me to lean on them (literally) as we went for our snack in the early morning hours. I had never really been a pill taker during my life, but I began to take a couple of NSAIDS just before going out to my social affairs in hopes of walking better and hiding my "little limp.” Not possible; but, my friends were always so kind. Finally I had a checkup with my general doctor Dr. Calvin Lei at Stanford Health Care in Pleasanton, California. We discussed my walking issue which resulted in a referral to my now orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Aaron Salyapongse of Webster Orthopedics in Dublin, California; however, after my first consultation with the surgeon...I remained very hesitant. Maybe all I needed was a shoe lift - funny how we rationalize when we just aren't certain about things. Well, when my general labs were assessed - funny thing: I wasn’t even eligible for surgery because my blood sugar was a little high; and more importantly, my blood platelets were below the "normal" level important for surgery. So, I thought that just might be a "stop sign" for any surgery. Okay then - decision made. I thought it could be months before considering surgery again. Who knew? Dr. Lei, my general doctor, soon referred me to an oncologist in order to checkout my blood platelet situation. Dr. Kavitha Raj, a wonderful oncologist with Valley Medical Oncology Consultants in Pleasanton, assessed my condition and informed me that while my low platelets were normal for me, my platelet count must be in a normal range for surgery. Okay, so I took some prescribed medication wondering how long this could go on. Who new? A few days after the follow-up blood test by Dr. Raj, I unexpectedly received a phone call from Dr. Salyapongse’s office saying that I had been approved for total hip replacement surgery and was asked if I would like to schedule a date for surgery. I was definitely in shock...expecting to have months to reconsider surgery. I was then offered a surgery date in just two weeks which had opened up due to a cancellation. If I had not secured this opening, I would have had a month wait for surgery....that is, if I had decided to go ahead. We penciled in the date. Two weeks. So...because I was instructed not to take NSAIDS for ten days prior to surgery, I quickly realized how those little pills were actually masking my discomfort to a reasonable degree - more than I thought. By day eight without pills, I was reaching for the walls in my home (not wanting to put weight on my left hip); and, I was also compensating for my diminished hip movements by over-using my right knee which was becoming notably over worked. It was my time. I had a choice. Show up Wednesday morning for surgery, or go shopping for a cane and hideout more at home in the future. I showed up for surgery: Total Left Hip Replacement by Dr. Aaron Salyapongse, - Anterior Approach scheduled for September 29th, 2018; having just celebrated my 70th birthday two days before. I would like to share my surgery experience to add to your information gathering....but always remember, we are each uniquely different. I showed up for total hip replacement surgery with Dr. Aaron Salyapongse at six-thirty a.m. on September 29th, 2018, for admission to the Stanford Health Care / Valley Care Hospital in Pleasanton, California. Paperwork complete, it was now time - my time. I was escorted down the hall to the pre-op section and quickly asked to take two pills. I followed instructions and swallowed. Okay, I was then given my hospital gown, toothbrush, toothpaste, non-skid yellow socks to wear, and then asked to change and go potty; also, to brush teeth. Now it was time to get comfortable on the bed. So, I did. Three pre-op nurses were soon hovering over me -- each doing their task including the IV, asking many questions, and establishing monitors and so forth. I froze. What was I doing here? I questioned all my decisions in one moment. I asked the three nurses if it was normal to get "cold feet" about this time? My sudden tears prompted a three-nurse-cheering team offering kind supportive words of encouragement. My one minute freeze was over. Soon the medical team and my family surrounded me. Dr. Salyapongse, my surgeon, now in his light blue scrubs was asking me what procedure he was about to perform on me. I replied, "A total left hip replacement, anterior approach, 4 inch incision, then moving the muscles with your fingers giving access to the ball to be sawed off, which made way to the socket area which would be replaced with new materials; then a "test" implant (to hold the new ceramic ball) would be fitted before implanting the permanent titanium implant." He was impressed and said I could help : ) Well, somewhere along the line, the anesthesiologist mentioned that Dr. Salyapongse preferred that his patients have a spinal. Whoa…a spinal? I didn't have much time for debate to my amazement because the “meds” were doing their thing and a good "cocktail" was lingering in my I.V! : ) So then, after being wheeled into the operating room, I barely cared when asked to sit up and lean forward for the "dreaded" spinal. I leaned over with no cares: at some point, the anesthesiologist administered two shots. I couldn't really tell. Afterwards, I was asked to lay back and I did. It seemed liked the next moment when I heard the words "wake up you're done." Done? I was having such a nice sleep after months and months of restlessness. *** After surgery: No pain. No nausea. No dizziness. I took one pain pill as more of a precautionary measure by end of day one. I was up and walking shortly after surgery to go potty (using a walker primarily to prevent any falls). Day one after surgery: No real pain. I called it my "brick leg" but no pain. I was up and walking (using a walker primarily to prevent any possible falls). Day two after surgery: I returned home, remade my new bed downstairs, and went upstairs for a shower. Nice. No pain. I am presently enjoying my recovery time (Day 6) and continuing to take meds for continued healing and good health. I feel amazing. No more anguish when I walk. Of course as to be expected...I will continue with healing and adjusting to my new life, my new hip, and my new ability for excellent mobility. My biggest lesson learned - let others help you when you can. Trust in the positive side of things. Accept blessings when they are right before you....and always give thanks. Dr. Salyapongse, I thank you for your excellent skills and for your dedication to help others, providing them an opportunity for a second chance of continued mobility and healthy living. *** Footnotes: -- Thank you to my dear family and friends for good thoughts and sweet prayers. -- Thank you to the medical staff and all related personnel who cared and helped so graciously. -- Mostly, I thank my Father God who clearly urged me to trust others and let others help me because He does care about everything we encounter. -- Recommendations: Dr. Calvin Kyaw Soe M. Lei (General at Stanford Health Care in Pleasanton) Dr. Aaron Salyapongse (Orthopedic Surgeon/Webster Orthopedics Dublin) Dr. Kavitha P. Raj (Oncologist / Valley Medical Oncology Consultants) Stanford Health Care - Valley Care, Pleasanton, California

At the age of 20 i had hip injury after motorcycle crash. They fixed it with permanent metal plate in my hip bone. They said in 2-8 years i will need hip implant. I am now 25 and still okey. I do sports and such. It gets difficult if i have to sit a lot, than it is a little clicking. I hope to be able to live my life without hip bone implant for the rest of my life. I think sports helps me. Stay active and healthy guys! You live only once :)

[@georgealderson4424]

ChessMaster Please enjoy a long and happy life but look after yourself ChessMaster. I know that surgeons are incredibly skilled but I would hate a young lad like you to have to have any operation if it can be avoided even if it is a modern miracle Blessings and peace

[@xbluewolfy1741]

I'm 23 and needed my Hip socket held together by a metal plate and 9 screws because off a motorbike accident when I was 22. Yes exercise is good to build the muscle to support the hip, but also remember the more High Impact sports you do such as running, Football and even rowing will shorten the life off your hips and you will need a replacement due to osteoarthritis so be careful.

[@fly4funalso]

Very informative Dr Hendrich, I learned a lot from this

[@johnutube5651]

Best part in this video is keeping Gluteus minimus and IT Band muscles apart with gloved fingers! marvelous.

[@jayceejones6802]

Explained so good. Thank you

[@georgealderson4424]

Thank you for your excellent total hip replacement animation video Sir. I found it fascinating to see the apparent ease with which it can be performed and imagine that as a result of the minimal trauma sustained post operative pain is greatly reduced. Now I look forward to watching a total knee replacement.

[@Friendlyhelpers]

fantastisch! very good Video and explaination. I watch both english and german Videos being born in Germany, now a physical therapist in the U. S.

[@sartainja]

If you need a hip replacement, go ahead and do it as soon as possible since the pain will wear you down. You will be glad that you had it done sooner rather than wait. Trust me I had it done at 2011 at 45 years old.

[@kebo57]

Just had this done on my right hip 6 days ago (2.25.20) by dr. Coleman fowble at Midlands orthopedics and am healing nicely. My diagnosis was osteoarthritis and FAI. So far no complications! This was done as outpatient too, went home at 6pm same day of my procedure. Still have some soreness and swelling, and I'm using a cane. However, I can walk unassisted if I want to, but I'm just taking my time with my rehab,

How many cost of ceramic and ceramic total hip replacement

[@Eclectic_RN]

Nice video, though a bit outdated. Commonly, neither injectable nor tablet anti-clot medications are given anymore, usually nowadays, one takes one or two baby aspirin a day. In this video, the incision is lower on the thigh and has largely been replaced by a "bikini" line (ok Speedo-line lol, if you're a guy) that runs laterally along the crease of the thigh. I suggest #1: Choose your surgeon! and #2) Use a clinic that utilizes the Stryker robotic assistant. My hip replacement was done about 3 weeks ago. Yesterday I weed-whacked my yard and then mowed another 3/4 hour--seriously. Don't put it off forever and do whatever is necessary to maintain muscle strength. Too many turn sedentary from hip pain, their muscles and tissues weaken and they have difficulty recovering after surgery. After my replacement on Day 1, I could walk 600' with a wheeled walker. Day 3, I could move around quite well with just a cane. At Week two I could walk 2000 steps not really relying on a cane at all. For me, absolutely life changing! Good luck and trust your doc not some guy from youtube!

[@Teresahorner]

I got anv. i have no choice and sooner the better cause im in so much pain

[@jamescampbell1723]

How does that ball stay in the socket?

[@Lehmann108]

Through muscular tension of the thigh muscles pulling it into place. It's the same way your natural hip stays in place.

And please also tell me if there is any alternate or precautions we have to take if we are not going for the surgery. Also he is a heart patient and had 2 minor heart attacks in the past . Till now he is not getting any issue with heart ,We have also discussed with homeopathy and ayurvedic doctors available nearby but all suggest not to go for surgery.
