This is a very serious surgery with great detail involved. If
this is for you or a child, let it be know that it will take atleast
a year to recover.
I spent the better part of seven, eight months lying on my back in
a brace to support my hip. Not comfortable at all and very
frustration to have to wear it. I couldn't put weight on my rt foot
for almost nine mos, until the graft bonded and became stronge
enough.
Should note that for the first couple of weeks, the pain is
bearable but not pleasent, take the pain pills!
The sugery takes away muscles around the buttocks, so the strength
is decreased, and because the surgery basically bolts you together
flexablilty is severly limited, cannot run or jump anymore either.
There is more, but that is a start for now. you have me email need
more let me know.
