I respect your triple boarding in ortho, but I have to ask do you perform joint replacement in your practice or do you focus only on non-surgical intervention? . Hip replacement, when done by an experienced surgeon is really one the few surgical interventions ( ortho/neurosurgical) that has demonstrated very good results over a prolonged period of time. Regenerative therapy is very expensive and lacks long term reliable evidence based results. Perhaps once these therapies can demonstrate more positive outcomes insurance may cover them.
Thanks for the video.
I had a right THR 6 weeks ago exactly and could not be happier with the result. My leg pain went from severe to nothing, I'm easily walking two miles briskly every day and the quality of my life has improved dramatically. The people that have had mediocre or poor results from hip surgery went into it in bad physical shape. I was in very good shape and not overweight. I was home same day, on a walker for two days, a cane for three and then walking on my own. Once your hip pain gets unbearable and the quality of your life goes way down you'll be ready. ABSOLUTELY the best thing I ever did, and a huge 90% of people that have it done turn out great, and are only unhappy they waited too long to get their lives back. And oh yeah...I'm 70 years young.
Thanks for sharing your experience!
Hi Dave I had bi lateral hip arthroscopy in 2020 without success. I’m 40 and have been a sport junkie my entire life. Been in chronic pain now for 6 years. Constant ache in hips. I still can do everything but most activity flare up. Thanks for your video
I did a bit of research, and it seems most hip surgeries are extremely successful
Generally hip replacements have good results for a majority of people.
...and people lie.
Yes you answered my questions. I’ve avoided shoulder replacements for severe osteoarthritis damage to my Cartledge. Iv built up muscle strength and ROM. It’s still uncomfortable if I don’t take acetaminophen which I limit severely.
So now I’ve got my hips to deal with. I’m an active health octogenarian. To think that I will be subjected to limiting myself and what I love doing- I will do the strengthening exercises. Still am limiting my acetaminophen. I cannot take antinflatories because of it caa hospitalization from a ruptured duodenal ulcer. (Inflammatory and caused)
Very well discussed. Thank you
I'm glad it was helpful!
Hi Dr Grier, I'm having issues with lifting my right leg at times. I cant swim and flex the right leg as that hurts! Unable to swing/move leg to the right when sitting or standing w/out major pain. Right calf is sometimes slightly numb when waking up in the am. Now I'm starting to have sharp pain 2 inches below right knee, left side of leg. I havent had any car accidents, sports injuries to trigger any of this. I guess I'm getting old 😢. I'm thinking PT would help? Unsure what Dr to go see first? I don't want meds or surgery. Thank you for any advice.

I was told by a Sports Med Dr that cartilidge receives no blood supply and cannot "heal" or be rebuilt.
My doctor said that I have a very bad hip but I don’t have a pain. I have pain in my muscle. My muscle hurts all over my body but they say that is arthritis. I think arthritis the bones hurts my neck. It tied my arm they tied in my hands they swollen up. I can’t even bend my fingerand they say it’s arthritis. I can feel my muscle there so tight and pulling my fingers and I don’t know who to believe.

I have A bad right hip,the woman who took the x ray,said that looks like that would hurt really bad.i do stairs at planet fitness on Tuesday ,I shoot for 180 floors in 30 minutes. I have very limited movement in that hip
Hip arthritis can be very limiting, for sure.
Is there a difference between thinking it's my sciatica nerve pain compared to possibly hip joint pain?
It's not a perfect rule, but hip joint pain typically is felt in the groin, where lumbar spine issues like a herniated disc or sciatica would be felt in the buttock and back of the thigh.
good question
I have just had a steroid injection in my hip a week ago and I am in more pain now than ever before. No more injections for me.
Thanks for your video! I'm curious about your comment of people unhappy with their outcomes. Can you explain further? (what is the percentage, what type of issues, etc)

Yeah. My Dad had a hip replacement and it destroyed his life, my Mom's life and my life.
A majority of patients do well, but not everyone does.
Can I ask what happened to your Dad? Has he gotten any better since your post? I've put it off for 8 years now and exercises daily, and changed my diet. I am very thin and healthy otherwise. I just cannot walk or do anything without pain..even sleep.
I have had 3 steroid injections on each hip and they did help and lasted for around 4 months.However i am told you cannot take more than the 3 shots or risk permanent damage.
So the pain has returned on each side and i am unsure which route to take now?

How long will a ceramic on ceramic hip replacement really last on average? Real truth? 15?
15 years is what a joint replacement surgeon told me is a realistic expectation.
@DrDavidGeier I was hoping 20 plus... for me it may only last 10 because I'd try to exercise my muscles mild weight . Ty
