Re: hip replacement

Hi Mawr :

I meant it preaucation .Unfortunately ,I have seen implants long time ago during my undergraduate study ,so that I can not remember how much range does it allow ,however it may be different from producation to another , just preacuation for dislocation . As for timing of keeping not flexing beoyend 90 degrees ,usually I tell them that but have not thought of long term .I do think mobility is central here .
Just interesting to me ,in your practice do they recommend hip protector fallowing hip replacment for prevention of hip fracture ?

cheers
Emad
