Pamela, I had posterior hip replacements, and the last one done 5 months ago

was the 4th hip for that side. I had my first hip done at 37 and I am an

avid swimmer. Thats why I got bent scuba diving. There is nothing wrong with

my muscles, but in November I forgot for one tiny minute that I had pushed

well past the 90- degree rule. And out it popped and it did it again 4 days

later.so there is no way I would do it on purpose..

-- Re: 90 degree rule

Can I ask which type of hip replacement requires this? I remember my PT

mentioning something about conventional hip replacement surgery had quite a

few restrictions during the recovery process only, but with a direct

anterior approach there are no restrictions at all.
