August 14, 2017 – I passed 5 years with my THR last week and it’s flown by. I have no issues at all and like many here, it’s been life changing surgery for me. I couldn’t have HR due to to a slipped femoral epiphysis age 14 and was struggling to accept that but the advice I got here helped so much.

I’m back motorcycling and playing football- those dark days of arthritic pain seem much further away than 5 years!

So for anyone who isn’t a HR candidate, don’t despair- a large ball THR, well placed, is a very good option.
Cheers Mike.
