Stroke after hip replacement
Common Questions and Answers about Stroke after hip replacement
stroke
My mother is 70, she broke her hip and has undergone a total hip replacement surgery. 3 weeks after the surgery she suffered a dislocation of the prosthesis. Although there is no fracture and the prosthesis is in good condition, a surgeon has suggested that she needs to undergo a further surgery to modify the prosthesis. This is because, as she suffered a stroke 25 years ago, and has a residual hemiparesis on the hip replacement side, the surgeon thinks that dislocations will reoccur.
The left two times and never any complications or infections. The last revision (replacement after original replacement) was when I was 61. The reason for the multiple replacements on the right hip is because the bone grafts from cadavers didn't take until they removed some bones from my pelvis and used those. Now everything is fine and NO pain.
On August 7, 2008 ( his third day back at work light duty) he was walking when his femur fractured, that evening he had a total hip replacement. He had more pain after the second surgery and muscle weakness, we were told it was because he had two surgeries in 7 weeks, Almost a year later he suffers from severe to mild pain even when sitting still. He has had blood tests, x rays, cortisone shots, and a bone scan.

Hi gottilee,
It's nice to see you back on the Pain Forum again. I'm sure you remember that we're ALL CP Chronic Pain Patients and not Doctor's, but I just wanted to remind you since it's been awhile. :)
I'm sorry that you will be facing a hip replacement. I'm currently recuperating from my 3rd hip replacement. Don't let that frighten you at all because the FIRST one lasted almost 30 years and after it I did EVERYTHING thing that I did before the implant.
My mom recently had knee replacement on 6/8/19. (She had both hip replacement in 2010 previously)Can she have MR and tomography? She started having severe hip(both) aches after her right knee surgery. Especially when she moves or walks, she says her both bottoms(where she sits), sometimes hips are hurting so much. Does she need to have MRI or tomography and can she use MRI or tomography with her replacements?
I'm new to this group but have been around for a while in the MS forum.
As carolanivey said, the pain that you describe as being in his groin is really in his hip. I used to think that hip pain had to be felt on the outside. Not so much :-) The actual hip socket is right where the top of the femur turns in to meet the pelvis.
This was a marvel of anatomy I learned when my doc told me I had about 80% bone on bone osteoarthritis in my left hip. I was 49 then (53 now).
are you getting total hip replacements? that means the femur component & the acetabulum component? I didn't think they did those at the same time? I just had one done and could not imagine them both done together! You said it was minumally invasive. That makes me think it's not THR.To go in and saw off the femur head and insert the new parts requires full access. I have about a 7 in incision. Anyway, clarify your post. Good luck!

s a challenge to overcome a chronic situation of dislocations after hip replacement but every effort should be made by your surgeons on your behalf. I'm sure this is depressing after you think something like hip replacement is going to improve things and you find you still deal with chronic hip issues. Let me know how it is going.

If it is possible for you to limit intense physical activity and be on roles where you can compromise physical activity you can delay the hip replacement procedure. After hip replacement you have to go for intense physiotherapy for recovery and it is possible to have nearly full range of movements if everything falls in the right place. It would depend on the sickness leave which is required for surgery and rehabilitation and also the recovery for your future service.
If you are scheduled for hip replacement, is the pain related to the need for hip replacement? That could be referred pain, also hip frequently refers into the groin area. Could also be because you have altered your posture of walking due to the weak?painful hip. Can't help you with other types of tests.
