Great to know your getting around better. Any replacement is scary so I know your glad to have that over-with. My wife had her first knee a year ago in March. She is on schedule for the other one now. She put the first one off for years and says she is sorry she did. First one was a breeze for her and I hop the second is too.

Y's guys rule!

Stuey, I'm 63. Glad I had it done. After the operation you have hurt and muscle pain from being cut open, but the joint pain is gone. I went home the next day after the operation. Dennis



You can see a lot of bone spurs growing out of the ball end. These wear away the cartilage. The tools on the right are drill bits to clean up the hip socket. The tools on the left are rasps to make room for the implant in the femur. What you're looking at should be smooth.

Hi there
Hope every thing is healing good. I would like to see the picture of the ball joint . I'm coming up on 69 and have been putting off hip replacement for 3 years (gas pedal side). I just can't bear the thought of all that cutting, sawing and hammering scares the hell out of me.
I have a 56 f100 same colour but not such good condition, it came from Klamath Falls Oregon.

I drove the truck to church today, my first using my clutch leg. I can rest my leg on the clutch pedal without depressing it. No pain in the hip joint, knee still doesn't bend much. I asked the Dr if he can take a picture of the femur when he cuts it out. It's really rough looking, not a smooth round ball. I can post a picture if you want to see lt.
