Julia Mahseredjian   Published on Feb 4, 2019

My story begins with a ski accident at the age of 8. I broke my femur and needed internal fixation where metal devices were placed in the center of the femur to hold the bone in place until it heals for a period of 4 years. At 12, the metal plates were removed and my femur was healed. At age 13, I developed an Osteoarthritis, which entirely broke down my cartilage tissue because of the positioning of the screws; The blood flow did not arrive to the cartilage. In turn, that breakdown causes pain, swelling, and deformity to the extent that I was unable to walk properly because of the 7cm height difference between my legs.

I couldn’t undergo the hip replacement surgery until I was 18 because the operation wouldn’t succeed as long as I was still growing in height.…

Uploaded on Aug 29, 2011  – New Hip Replacement Technology

Dr. Peterson received extensive training in hip replacement while at the Mayo Clinic. He uses minimally invasive techniques including smaller incisions and muscle sparing approaches. His approach is called the Mini-Posterior approach. This approach enters the hip joint through the capsule in the back of the joint and avoids cutting the main hip abductor muscles which are responsible for walking without a limp. The main advantage of this approach is less postop pain, quicker recovery, and less need for crutch/cane. Also their is a much higher chance of walking without a limp after surgery than the traditional anterior muscle splitting approach.

Siva’s Total Hip Replacement with Dr. Bose of India 2012

Total Hip Replacement at Hips for You Posted on by

I had started running, and was enjoying it and wanting to train for longer distances when I was diagnosed with
bilateral hip AVN. I with a number of orthopedic surgeons, who all told me that I can give up things like running for good, and also that I should go through surgery immediately. I finally met Dr Vijay Bose in Chennai and his perspective was a little different. Anyway, to cut a long story short, attempts to see if
this would heal on its own did not work and Dr Bose decided to do surgery on the left side in December 2012.

I was hoping for a BMHR hip resurfacing, but during the surgery the doctor found the damage to be too much and therefore did a full hip replacement using a delta motion device (Depuy). The surgery went well, and after a check-up 2 months later, the doctor cleared me for running starting from 6 months after surgery.…

Mike’s Total Hip Replacement with Mr. Treacy 2012

August 8, 2013

It’s one year today since my THR so just a quick one to say thanks to everyone who’s given me all the great advice so far. Even a year down the line its good to read about things like ‘start up’ pain and know its nothing to worry about. I went for some professional physio and keep up the strengthening and core exercises at home so the hip is feeling strong. Mr. Treacy told me he would give me a hip that would allow me to crawl around into awkward places for my work and he was true to his word. I’m learning to treat it with respect without being over cautious and its working well.

The only thing I’ve given up for good is playing squash, it’s just a personal choice not to put my joint through that amount of stress.…

John’s Delta Motion THR with Dr. Bose 2011

Total Hip Replacement at Hips for You Posted on by

I had a delta motion hip surgery done last June, by Dr. Bose and so far, i am very happy with it. I have had no squeaks or other problems with it. My hip is pretty much pain free and feels almost as good as it did before the damage caused by avn. I had originally planned to get a BMHR, and during our discussion the night before surgery, Dr. Bose mentioned that if the avn extended down into the neck of the femur, a BMHR would not be possible and he would do the delta motion. As it turned out, while I was on the operating table, he discovered that the avn did extend to the femur neck, requiring him to abort the BMHR plan and go with the delta motion. I knew that the delta motion hip was a new product, but I put my trust in Dr.…
