rheumatic Re: Anterior Hip Replacement

Sally, my father-in-law (age 75) just had this done 6 or 8 weeks ago.

Several years ago ,he had the other hip replaced the traditional way.

This time he used the less invasive procedure. He has done very well!

He's had less pain and was up and about quicker. Didn't have to have

someone come to the home to do exercises, etc.

He was just given the clear to do anything but water ski (which they

told him he never could do again). They also said every time he has

any kind of dental procedure done (even if just a cleaning), he must

take antibiotics for a couple days. --Celia <><
