Combined Reverse Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) and Open Debridement Surgery and now Total Hip Replacement too! Tuesday, 13 December 2011. A year and a shiny new hip! Well that turned out to not be the final surgery by any means. Unfortunately the groin pain returned with avengance around January 2011. After a series of steroid injections over 10 weeks with reducing benefit, I was referred to a different surgeon in the group (Mr Norton) for an arthroscopy to remove likely scar tissue. Good to read that s...

Combined Reverse Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) and Open Debridement Surgery and now Total Hip Replacement too! Sunday, 27 September 2009. Montreal, Mont Tremblant et Quebec Cite.

Combined Reverse Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) and Open Debridement Surgery and now Total Hip Replacement too! Sunday, 24 January 2010. Almost 8 weeks postop - back to work and physio time. Although I have consistently found that people seem to assume that if you are back, you must be fine and not in pain and able to do everything you should be doing despite the crutches, they forget that you are still in pain and still in the early stages of recovery. Her first comment to me was why are you still on cr...

Combined Reverse Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO) and Open Debridement Surgery and now Total Hip Replacement too! Sunday, 18 April 2010. Oozy wound and antibiotics - not for the squeamish! For some reason, the more minor the op I have, the more problems it has with healing! Haha, he wasn't too impressed. I thought it was slowing down yesterday evening, after another dressing change, but overnight I have oozed out over all the bedding. yuck.

However, I did complete my 5 years at medical school and am now an officially qualified doctor - woohoo! 13 August 2010 at 01:06. Nov 2008 -...
