Trevor’s Rapid Recovery Hip Replacement Experience
(0:00) How’s it feel? (0:01) Unbelievable. (0:04) Yeah, unbelievably different. (0:08) What about sort of actually being able to get out and about and do stuff? (0:11) I struggle.
(0:12) Struggle with everything. (0:13) That’s why I’ve decided to have it done. (0:16) Because I just can’t.
(0:17) I want to go back to work. (0:18) What about your social life? (0:19) Yeah, everything. (0:20) You can’t do anything.
(0:22) I just like to be pain free. (0:24) Be able to move my leg. (0:26) And how long has it been that bad for? (0:27) A couple of years.
(0:29) A couple of years, yeah. (0:31) Unclutches just to get around, just do basic things like shopping and things like that. (0:35) This is Trevor’s x-ray and it’s a particularly bad one because it’s almost completely white (0:40) across from the femoral head which is deformed.
(0:43) It’s fused basically into the pelvis and that’s the after. (0:46) So how do you feel? (0:47) Yeah, brilliant. (0:48) Any pain? (0:49) Mild.
(0:50) As in? (0:51) What? (0:52) I’m going to get you up in a bit while you’re walking around. (0:54) Yeah, that’ll be fun. (0:57) I’ll just give you that hand.
(1:06) I would say that already looks way better than what you’ve done this morning. (1:11) Can’t have surgery because of my BMI. (1:14) So I found you guys.
(1:16) And relatively small incision. (1:18) Very small incision, yeah. (1:19) You put your fingers out, how big would you say your incision is? (1:22) Just two inches.
(1:24) Driving the car on the day later after I came out of hospital, yeah. (1:28) And then by two weeks you felt, in terms of being back to normal, (1:32) 100% perfect, where would you say you were? (1:35) Two weeks after. (1:36) Yeah.
(1:37) 99. (1:38) So no pain at two weeks? (1:39) No, no pain at two weeks at all. (1:41) I’d say the last weekend I did a kilometre and a half walking (1:44) and I can use my exercise bike again.
(1:47) You’ve had your surgery, do you feel like you’ve had a rapid recovery? (1:50) Rapid. (1:51) And you’re happy? (1:51) Extremely rapid, yeah. (1:53) So happy with the hip? (1:54) Oh, completely.
(1:55) It’s life changing. (1:57) What more can we say? (1:58) It’s a fantastic result. (2:06) And then we checked in and he said, (2:08) you know, I was driving my car at two weeks, (2:10) obviously he said he felt great, (2:12) doing stairs and all sorts of things he hadn’t been able to do for a long time.
(2:15) So, yeah, I mean, it’s an amazing result.
