Currently I’m needing my right hip replaced (Played sports way too long)...the dr says I’m too young and that they generally prefer patients to be a minimum of 60 before having the replacement. It is so painful that I don’t want to wait that long! Every 6 months I have a hip joint injection that helps a little but to me the relief doesn’t last that long. What’s the normal recovery time for those that have had this operation?

The recovery for the new method like Saban had is quick. If it's real painful the cartilage may be worn through with bone grinding on bone. Doc said I put mine off about 10 years too long, which means I should've done it at 50 instead of 60. Age consideration has to do with the life of the bionic joint components. The titanium femur shaft and joint basin last longer than you will. The ceramic ball and poly socket liner last 20 to even 30 years (depending on usage) and can be replaced via minimally invasive surgery.

Good medical care knows its limitations and areas of expertise. Tua's injury is according to one doctor I saw on YouTube consistent with those of car accident victims so it makes sense that a trauma surgeon will conduct the surgery. I'm praying for Tua.
