Hey John,

You left hip conditions describe my right hip to a T. I have been researching a lot on hip replacements and have found that most of them now last between 15-20 years and some 25 years.

I have a thread about this on yellowbullet and it seems like a lot of guys our age have had this surgery. I will update this thread with any other information that I find to help you too.

My mom is 79 and has had both hips replaced.. most recently her second one was replaced about 10 months ago.. it was a fairly quick recovery... and she moves really well.. only downside she notices some pain when it's damp out.. or really really cold out.. otherwise.. both hips working great. Her first hip was done about 10 yrs ago..and works great.

take care!

Why so much worry about it not lasting so long? Get it done to get rid of the pain and lead a "normal" life doing what you want to do. Every person I have ever met say they waited too long before having a THR done.
