Justb a little update: Staples came out today and they took x-rays and everything is where it's supposed to be so the recovery is going well

That's great Drifter. Do you have the xrays to share? Did you get just the hip joint ball part, or the full assembly (for lack of a better term)?

Wish I had the x-rays but no...... And it was an anterior Hip replacement so.......

Glad to hear it went well Drifter. Hope you have a speedy and good recovery process!

Good to hear. But if they took the staples out, what’s holding your hip in place?/
