[QUOTE="andrewBwinter, post: 256392, member: 43256"] Booked! August 17 2023 I will get a full hip arthroplasty. Day surgery, posterior. When speaking with the ortho he commented that posterior doesn't require "detaching" certain muscles. Yikes. However there is a small muscle that is incised. Generally speaking I'm terrified, but the 3 month recovery and thought of being able to walk without pain again is enticing to say the least. After all, it's only three months for another 25 years of comfort. I can only hope he levels out the length of my legs and he doesn't make my super suit green or animated. One interesting comment he made when replacing hips for patients in their 50's, "You'll have the mobility and activity level of the average 65 year old." I'm 58. At that point it became clear that I won't be regressing to my 30s and 40s even though I still believe I can perform at those levels. One thing that hasn't been covered in this thread is suggested supplementation. When I had my ankle scoped and micro-fractured, I read an article on l-citrulline and it's positive effects on rabbit non-union fractures. The result were excellent compared to placebo. I continued using l-citrulline during my recovery. I can only find a mouse study here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32195554/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
