Periacetabular Osteotomy - replacement or resurface or PAO?
Orthopedics on 02-17-2008
I had RPAO Jan 25th with Dr Millis in Boston. So far my recovery is going well - 1/3 body weight bearing right now (3 weeks out). I have had lots of help with the little ones- between my husband, my parents and in-laws - someone is always on duty (for the kids and me). I needed 24 care the first week home - but am now able to "take care of myself"... more

Proximal Tibial Osteotomy
Orthopedics on 12-18-2007

Should I Get Second Opinion?
Orthopedics on 11-14-2007
Yes - I would definately get a 2nd and 3rd opinion! I was finally diagnosed with bilateral hip dysplasia 5 years ago at age 28 after YEARS of unexplained hip pain. You don't want to mess around with hips! I also am a mother of 2 little ones (3years and 7 months) - and am now facing the possibility of replacement/resurface or a reconstructive surger... more

Right Hip Scope Torn Labrum
Orthopedics on 11-14-2007
I had a right hip scope for torn labrum 4 years ago. Unfortunately I found no pain relief from it. Recovery was not bad - in fact I got pregnant 2 weeks after surgery (maybe that is why it didn't work!) My doc told me to use crutches for a few days - then I could do whatever I wanted. I spent one night in the hospital - only because my surgery was ... more

Periacetabular Osteotomy - replacement or resurface or PAO?
Orthopedics on 11-13-2007
Anyone out there have this done? Anyone with small children?
I am 33 years old with bilateral hip dysplasia. The doctors down here want to do replacement or resurface. I am going to a specialist who does PAO - but recovery time scares me. I have a 3 year old and a 7 month old.
