Re: Joint replacement revision

[Guest guest]

For something as serious as this, I would definitely get a second opinion, maybe a third.

Another site I follow has a forum on surgery and arthritis. I’ve

not had any surgery so I know nothing about it but if you look through and post

on that site someone may be able to help you. I hope you get good answers some

way. God bless.

Subject: Joint replacement revision

I have both knee and both hip replacement few

year ago. and have right hip revision in year 2005 after my fist right hip

replacement in year 2002. recently I need to have another revision for my right

hip again cause of my bone crack. The doctor tell me maybe cause of some

infection on my bone. so need to take out the implant and put on antibotic, and

i need to suffer on hospital at least 6 weeks for injec antibotic. after all

that done, then will only do the third revision for my right hip. because of my

bone very thin, this operation is very complicated, and if not success, I may

can't have another surgery cause of my bone too thin.

I don't know what can I do now, should I go look for other option? anyone can

give me some advise?

Thanks for all dvice. I am from Malaysia. I

have look for the 2nd opinion,the doctor said is a bit risk to do 1 step

operation, because they not sure weather it is infection or not, but still can

do it. so, i might want to take this risk.
