Ganesh hi ganesh, i could be wrong, and i'm not a doctor, but it sounds to me like a dislocated hip. your friend's sister needs to ask her doctor what this implies. kate Hi, this is the XRAY report of one of my friends sister.

But before I write I needed to be pin point sure the exact condition of the problem so that the doctor/ expert knows if that's curable at their end. >From your reference I at least understood that the problem is known as "Hip Dysplasia" and now i've got http://www.colonialvet.com/patient_resources/surgery.php so if I study more regularly on this subject. I'll come to know more on this. Now... again.. this condition of her is from the time of her birth. If there are any experienced people with this subject, I'd appreciate if I get to know accurately if this particular problem is treatable. And, if it's treated anywhere in the world. I need relevant data of patients with similar case study being treated 100%. Ganesh > Now... again.. this condition of her is from the time of her birth. I suspected that from the description.

I'd bet doctors anywhere in the world would say to wait until she has completed her growth spurt. There would not be much sense doing anything corrective now if she's young and would outgrow the correction - like kids outgrow shoes and clothing. ...

They cannot perform the operation until she has stopped growing. Also, for her disorder, there may be other measures that can be taken to ameliorate things until she can get surgery.

She already had 3 operations. Still her condition is not satisfactory. Her knee is also weak to help her stand up. She uses Splinters for support. Can you tell me by this Hip replacement can everyone walk like a nomal person all by herself without support. Does this operation done once or till requires to be done many times? How much will it cost? > >> That's right. When she's reached maximum growth she'll have a hip > >> replacement. Until then, crutches or a wheelchair.

That depends on how much ligament tightening is required during the operation and the skill of the surgeon. My hips are great, it's my other damaged joints that are the problem! My surgeon was also very good. Crap bedside manner, but an artist in the operating theatre. Given her young age, they will use an uncemented prosthesis in case she needs another later in life (they sometimes wear out). As such, full bone healing can take up to 18 months. After 6 months most normal activities can be resumed, with some cautions. > Does this operation done once or till requires > to be done many times? If something goes wrong, a revision may be needed. Especially if someone doesn't follow the post-operative rules for 3 months. Your sister is still too young. Growth can continue into the early 20s. There are braces that can be used to support her hip, but she will likely need a walking aid as well. When she's in her early 20s she's much more likely to find a surgeon to perform the operation. I was 25 when I had my first hip replacement. Will I have to have a revision? Noone really knows. My hips are now made of the same materials they use on the space shuttle and armoured personnel carriers! If over 15-30 years they wear out, I'll have to have another operation called a revision. these are harder to do because it means undoing all the bone growth into the prosthesis, but they are done and they are not uncommon. I don't think I have anything to worry about for several more decades. Given my bone marrow problems, I'll be lucky if I live anywhere near that long! > How much will it cost? That depends on the hospital, the country you're in, medical insurance (if any), and the doctor performing the surgery. I think you should be able to find more information using google.com searches. That's where I'd be looking for these answers. >>>> That's right. When she's reached maximum growth she'll have a hip >>>> replacement. Until then, crutches or a wheelchair.

People get shoulder replacements, knee replacements, and hip replacements on a daily basis today. The surgeon who did my hip replacement 6 years ago hasn't had a failure. There are probably 2 dozen - if not more - examples in this group. Failures occur because patients go beyond the limits set by the surgeon/PT/OT - they bend more than 90 degrees at the hip, they lift too much weight, they cross their legs, they fail to perform the pre-op and post-op exercises designed to strengthen the hip. > Also if the data of recovering patients available would do a lot good. Every manufacturer collects its own data. There is no central storage place for it unless there is a recall of replacement parts. Then Uncle Sam announces it and places it on web sites. ... URA Redneck if your life's goal is to own a fireworks stand. She is 15yrs old. We reside in India. Does this operation helps to stand without any support like normal people? Is this operation done once or does it have to be repeated again? R u able to walk all by urself. My sis needs support & cannot walk without her splinters.

Do you know any website where I can find more details about the care to be taken? Also, are there any important care to be taken when she is still growing? *** As, it seems she has to wait for another couple of years before she has completed her growth.
