(0:06) How does that feel now, if you just keep your tips, toe tips connected and just raise your (0:12) heel and go from one side to another and try to balance on the operated side. (0:17) How does that feel? (0:18) Is that okay? (0:19) Okay, if you lift up your foot and try to balance, extend only on the right side. (0:25) How’s that? (0:26) Fine.
(0:27) Just the balance. (0:29) Okay, so now forget about the fact that you had a hip replacement three hours ago. (0:34) Just move. (0:35) Just try and move? (0:35) Yeah, just move. (0:40) Only needs a bit of confidence, that’s it.
(1:20) Good, it’s not too bad. (1:23) How is that in relation to the first hip replacement you’ve had? (1:27) Yeah, I’m definitely more mobile. (1:29) Definitely more mobile.
(2:50) When was your left hip replacement? About two years ago. (2:54) And we did your one about eight weeks ago on the right. (2:56) That’s right, yeah. (2:57) And that was with Kristian with this approach of his.
(2:59) And how did the two compare? (3:02) Well, I think that initially there was quite a big difference in that with the first hip, (3:09) I remember being on crutches for several weeks at least afterwards. (3:17) Whereas with the right hip, actually I felt very stable straight away in that I didn’t (3:27) need any crutches at all for coming straight out of the hospital, which was interesting.
(3:32) Yeah, comparatively, less pain, less swelling, a lot more stability (3:39) Yeah, the most basic thing is being able to sort of run around with the kids. (3:45) Right. (3:46) As Remy and Tristan now get to the age where they want to sort of play football and run (3:51) around. (3:51) So that’s important. (3:52) I couldn’t really do that before. (3:54) So that’s sort of job number one, as it were.
(3:57) And then secondly, getting into, you know, back into tennis and basketball and potentially (4:04) football. (4:04) These are all things that involve lots of sort of twisting and stuff, which they’ll be quite
(4:09) intense. (4:10) And so I need to make sure I get the foundation right.
(4:13) So, so Kristian, tell us about the challenges of James’s hip. (4:16) Yeah, well, I’m one metre eighty seven in height and obviously not a small chap, but (4:22) James is kind of outstanding. (4:24) And I will show you in a second.
(4:26) The the answers that we have to different varieties of anatomical differences is (4:33) huge. (4:33) So we have eleven different stem dimensions in different angulations. (4:39) So overall, thirty three different stems.
(4:43) And in fact, there is another one for dysplasia, which makes it forty four. (4:46) So we have several different sizes from forty four on every second, every other millimetre (4:55) increment in cup size, obviously different head sizes and lengths. (5:00) So overall, there is hundreds, if not thousands of different opportunities for him.
(5:05) It has always been just the big ones, obviously, that would would actually suit him. (5:14) So this is a normal cup. (5:16) This was the inlay, the liner that we had inside.
(5:20) So you see that that the liner itself is bigger than a normal cup. (5:24) So in in James, we really had to grab for for the big units. (5:29) And as he’s a big unit, I mean, we may just stand up.
(5:37) Yeah, it’s a bit disappointing, isn’t it? (5:41) So quite a challenging patient. (5:42) Being not small myself. (5:46) Yeah.
