@@fatcattowing8990 being scared or nervous is normal, but I'm not in all likelihood you will have a great outcome. Just keep practicing those things for the next couple weeks before your surgery and letting me know how it goes

Sounds like a good recovery so far...hope it continues so well for this one and for your second!💗

@@mattlowery yeah I'd love to drive an Alpine A110

Sorry for the delay, I did not immediately see your comment. Sounds like you did some of the prehab that I would do if I had to do it again. Happy healing and thanks for watching!

Yeah and I really feel for the folks requiring THR much younger than myself. Hope your hip is treating you well. :)

Here's some info from Zach, the owner of the Evora in this video. Hey not sure how much detail you'd like to share but it's an S1 body with the S2 drivetrain. It was built as a validation prototype before they started delivering cars. Then used for emissions testing in 2015. Dyno'd at 355 whp 320ft lbs torque. If you want to link to my channel its @Friss213

@@Life411 Thank you. That answers my question. The car sound great!!

Any time!

They didn't really define it in the study I found, but another viewer dug this up...not sure if it will all paste, but FYI: ------------ copy/pasted from the great Google from here on ------------ In orthopedics, micromovement is the small, temporary, relative movement between bone and an implant or fracture site: Implant fixation Micromotion is the movement between the bone and an implant surface when the implant is loaded. Micromotion can be caused by a number of factors, including the implant material, bone density, and surgical technique. Too much micromotion can prevent the implant from integrating with the bone, resulting in a fibrous capsule around the implant. Cementless fixation techniques and challenges in joint replacement* M.J. Cross, ... J. Spycher, in Joint Replacement Technology (Second Edition), 2014 7.3.1 Implant stability, micromotion and interface gaps Excessive micromotion of an implant in bone renders bone ingrowth impossible. The amount of permitted minimal movement at the interface has been reported to be 28-150 μm. Repetitive higher displacements allow only ingrowth of fibrous tissue [27, 28]. Micromotion is a function not just of primary implant stability but also of the differences in the elastic modulus of bone and in the implant material. In tibial trays this mismatch can produce motions of up to 150 μm. Retrieved implants have shown best bone ingrowth near fixation pegs and inconsistent ingrowth patterns at the periphery [29]. Even for the most talented surgeons, it remains impossible to produce an absolute conforming host site that shows no gaps over the entire surface area. Those areas that lack direct contact have an inhibitory effect on osseointegration and this effect is proportional to the size of the gap. Numerous models with analysis of controlled gaps in stable implants reveal that bone ingrowth is reduced up to six-fold in the presence of a 2 mm gap as compared to direct bone contact. These results demonstrate the supreme importance of meticulous surgical technique to keep the incidence and dimensions of gaps to a bare minimum [20, 30]. In our study of hydroxyapatite-coated total knee replacements, we showed that gaps up to 2 mm filled in after 2 years, but only if the implant was absolutely stable [31].

You made my day! Thanks so much for the positive feedback, it keeps me motivated to produce more content. Did you know there are over 1,000 total hip replacements performed every day in the U.S. alone? I appreciate any help spreading the word so I can reach and help as many folks as possible. Have a great day! Peter

Thanks for watching! Have you found any of my full length Hip Vlogs helpful?

Thanks for the positive feedback Doug. You sound to be recovering normally despite the "dead leg syndrome." Hope your recovery continues well and you feel up to the Christmas meal with family. Regards, Peter

@@michaeltorrey3603 you are very welcome and I am very glad it was helpful. I hope to reach more of the 1,000 people receiving hip replacements in the US every day, so appreciate any help sharing. Good luck with your surgery and please check in to let me know how you're doing

@@dougirvine6978 So glad everything is going well. Happy continued healing!

@@davidmackenzie5332 I just figure making it real is the most helpful for others. Are you facing or recovering from total hip replacement?

@Life411 yes, it'll happen in a few weeks. Honestly can't come fast enough for me.

@davidmackenzie5332 Hope it all goes smoothly and you have a smooth recovery. Check in periodically and let me know how you're doing

So glad that you're finding my videos helpful! I wish I could help all 1,000 of the recipients of total hip replacements that occur every day in the U.S. alone! Wish you all the best in your hip journey and please share if the occasion affords.💗

@Life411 many thanks from northern Ireland ☘️

Thanks, appreciate that.

It was. Congrats! shoot me a pic when you have a sec. Hope to see it in person in the new year.

@@Life411 Yes Sir, I just sent you one on Messenger.

Thanks for watching! How far post-op are you now?

@@Life411 10 weeks.

You are so welcome! Do you have a surgery date yet?

Yes, it's the 2nd off January

Starting off the new year with a new hip! Hope all goes well!

@Life411 thank you!

Not sure what you consider "moderately tall," but I'm nearly 6'3" and fit fine in the 4C...it just takes some acrobatics getting in/out. I think it has to do with body proportions too. That said, one viewer came over to try out my 4C to see if he would fit before buying one for himself. He didn't fit, but he was like 6'5" and 300lbs...he ended up ordering one of the new Supras. Interesting what you said about height and wealth...I had to google that...interesting! Thanks for watching.

@@Life411 When I went to look at the 4C, the dealer said that the lack of space for the driver was hurting sales with tall clients. Going to look at a Lambo a few years ago, the dealer said almost the same thing, claiming he'd sell twice as many if taller people fit. Mercedes and Porsche do great on this, even with smaller cars. I'm buying a C8 HTC Vette...because I fit! LOL! I'm 6'3, 220lbs, but hardly a giant.

@robertbrody4032 Fair. I Don't have much experience with Mercedes, but that's absolutely right about Porsches and has been forever. I remember the first time I sat in a 911 as a teenager and how amazed I was at how spacious and comfortable it was once you're inside. Enjoy that C8!

How are you doing? Lateral is the least common approach, so I would welcome anything you would care to share about your experience. Any particular reason for getting the lateral approach? Thanks for watching!

@@Life411 hello. I'm making slow progress but am satisfied. I was in pretty bad shape when I went to Cuba to have the surgery. I'd just come out of a cast due to broken, right ankle. It was when I had exrays for the ankle that I requested exrays of the left hip because for many months previously, i had such pain. I could not even drive anymore, could hardly dress. Doctor examining exrays said I had bone on bone and needed surgery. I was not anxious to have this surgery done in the Bahamas. I communicated w friend in Cuba and he made arrangements for this in Cuba. Examining exrays doctors in Cuba also noted hip fracture. I was to have had anterior approach. I had a full hip replacement. Because the pelvic socket on top of femur was in bad shape, doctor used lateral approach. I did trust their opinion. And my orthropedic surgeon in Cien Fuegos has an excellent reputation. I was fortunate to have his services I stayed in hospital for a month. One week before surgery which happened on July 10. Then I stayed for three more weeks, until August 3. I was extremely nervous about my 1million high platelet count. And felt I should remain close to doctor's supervision. Where I live on Cat Island, there is no hospital. And I am weary of the public hospital in Nassau. I apologize for rambling on. What an experience. Apart from the high platelet count, I'm an active and fit 73 year-old.

Glad you're doing well. How long do you think until you can walk unassisted? Were you using a walker before your hip replacement? Thanks for watching! If you found my videos helpful, I hope you will share them with others. There are over 1,000 Total Hip Replacements performed every day in the U.S. alone and I'd love to help as many people as possible.

@ I was in the wheelchair , I can walk without assistance for a short distance before it hurts. Think it best not to rush walking without assistance, I think it will make you stronger.

Gotcha. In that case, sounds like you're where you should be in your recovery. Best wishes for continued healing!

This has made me very aware I need a divorce. Yes, first day went well ... now 3 days out, I'm pretty much on my own. I so wish I had gone to a rehab center.

Ouch! Sorry you don't have a more supportive partner. Hang in there!

Thanks for watching and for the update on your hip journey. I had deep, burning soreness in my thigh after my hip replacement last year. At about 10 days post-op I had scheduled a deep tissue massage and I asked the masseuse to work on my operative thigh while steering clear of the hip joint, etc. It hurt a LOT, but the very next day it felt amazingly better. If you give it a try, let me know if it helps. Regarding the swelling, you probably want to get that under control if you can as the swelling itself can cause other problems by stretching things out, etc. My swelling sounds like yours...from hip to knee my leg was like an overstuffed sausage! Very uncomfortable. I was able to get it under control in one day of very concerted effort and talk about this in several of my videos. Check the Post-op Guide video...it is Chaptered in the video description so you should be able to get right to the bit about swelling. Hope these things help!

Thanks for watching. Whatever works for you is great, but I've checked some Amazon listings and confirmed this. The bottom loop is rigid and kept open to make it easier to slip a foot into it. Happy continued healing.

You are very welcome. I am glad you found my Hip Vlog. There are over 1,000 Total Hip Replacements performed every day in the U.S. alone and I would love to help them all!

Thanks for watching. Can you clarify what you meant by "don't waste your time"?

Sounds like you're recovering well. Congratulations!

My pleasure! Glad you found it helpful. Hope you see a dramatic improvement over the next few days. Also hope you will help me spread the word...there are over 1,000 Total Hip Replacements performed every day in the U.S. alone and I'd love to help every one of them!

I got mine from the surgeon/hospital, but if you search on "leg lifter" on Amazon there are lots of options. Hope this helps

Thanks for watching and weighing in. Glad you're making steady progress.

Glad you found them helpful. I hope you will help me share them...there are over 1,000 Total Hip Replacements performed every day in the U.S. alone and I would love to help as many hippies as possible.

My pleasure. Do you live or work in India, or did you go there for hip surgery?

@Life411 I live and work in india only. I work in IT sector so I'll be working from home only after few days. I am still in hospital. So far not much pain as i was given general anesthesia during surgery. It's the third day after surgery.

Awesome! You made my day. Hope we can spread the word and help more hippies.

It is my pleasure...I'm glad you found my hip vlog helpful. With your diagnosis, I'm surprised they are not recommending Total Hip Replacement. Are you in a socialized medicine system? One need not be bone-on-bone to need hip replacement and one can feel the pain from a bad hip in many different ways. I thought I had a groin pull for about six months before figuring out it was due to my bad, arthritic hip. Never felt pain in my hip per se, but the inflammation there aggravated the Femoral Nerve as it passed through which cause "referred pain" that I felt in my groin. Totally threw me off! In terms of recommendations, have you had an MRI yet? In my case, the xrays were inconclusive, but the MRI confirmed that I needed THR. So if you don't have an MRI yet, I'd recommend that or seeing another surgeon's opinion. Hope this helps and best wishes!

Groin pain all gone after your hip replacement?

The dog walker was a great help. Thanks for watching. How far along are you?

I can empathize. My mom got her hip replaced at 79 last year and she couldn't remember to do the PT or even go for walks regularly at the beginning. I guess the good news is that hip replacement is unique in that you can have a positive outcome without pre-habbing and without a lot of PT post-op. Just let it heal and walk...and even walking not to excess...and the hip will heal itself. My mom is 80 now and able to get around without the pain, so I would say it is a good outcome. Best wishes for you and your mom.
