This young lady of 37 years was badly disabled due to arthritis affecting both her hips. She could barely walk due to severe pain on her right side. I am attaching a video of hers before the surgery took place. She obviously had a lot of back pain too (see how she walks). Her right leg was 3 cms shorter than the left. We went ahead with the state of art total hip replacement for her. We use a rapid recovery protocol and she was walking within 36 hours of surgery. She regained her lost leg length (3cms) and the pain just vanished. She could now climb stairs easily. I am sharing her video 6 weeks after the surgery where she can walk erect and without any walking aid. She has no pain in the back as well. Doing a right surgery at right time really changes one’s life.
