Hip joint replacement
Hello
I am 26 year old female. My left hip joint is totally disolved from past 13 years. Because of which my left leg is 1 n half inch shorter than my right leg. I just delivered a baby through c section. When can i go for the hip joint replacement surgery? As i would be breast feeding baby. Its really diff for me to walk now days.
If you have recently delivered a baby through C section, you should wait for atleast three months to allow the body to recover. Even after three months, your blood tests and other investigations should be done and surgery should be performed only if you are medically fit for the same. Hip replacement is not an emergency and is an elective procedure. When performed by a Joint replacement surgeon/ Fellowship trained Orthopaedic surgeon, you will get excellent long term results.
