Guest guest Posted June 21, 2004 Report Share Posted June 21, 2004 It makes no sense to me that our operated leg(s) would shorten any further than they have following the effects of surgery. We are talking about structural parts. As important as muscles, tendons etc. are to our mobility and strength, I can't see how that would affect the bone/cobalt rigidity. These don't change. The ball sits in the cup. The cup is firm in the acetablulum. The ball is firm on the femur. Where does the vaiation take place? There is not, nor will there ever be a gap between my surgical ball and it's acetabular seat. (and if there is, I'll be hurting....see:dislocation). But then again, I thought the Lakers would win in 5, so I can't be too smart.... C+ 4-15-04 P.S. Do you think I could maybe shorten my longer (surgical) leg by hopping up and down with a wildabeast on my shoulders? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
