How difficult is Girdlestone Procedure recovery?
I'm 44 and have been presented with the possibility of having a Girdlestone Procedure. I just had my 2nd hip implant infection. Due to childhood cancer, I have had 6 hip replacements/revisions. Because of the concern of another infection and deteriorated hip bones, my Dr wants me to consider this. As he says, No Hip - No Infection. Is my hip fused in this procedure? How rough is the recovery? Any help is greatly appreciated.
