Total hip replacement - How long does it last?
They used to say an average of 10 years, but I believe it is longer than that now. I had my left hip replaced when I was 26 years old and I am now 38 years old. It's doing fine, no problems whatsoever. They used a titanium hip and attached it with both screws and glue. My doctor did tell me that the lifespan of a hip replacement really depends on things such as weight and activity level. Someone who is more active may need it replaced again sooner (due to wear and tear) than someone who leads a basically sedentary lifestyle like myself.
i`m sorry to say I don`t know, to serious question for me to make a cheap joke, good luck peace and love, from Norway

She is doing wonderful and looking forward to getting her legs back to where she can walk again. Like you , she had to use a wheel chair or not walk at all. Just listen to your doctor, and I will keep you in prayer for fast healing. God Bless You. Just trust in the Lord. He will help you through it.

I am not in pain with movement, only when I have it bent for too long or sometimes when I walk up stairs. So I figured it was not cartaledge cause I thought you had to be in pain a lot of the time. My husbands knee aches on a daily basis and he had cartaledge surgery at least 10 years ago.\nSo the question this time is. Shouldn't I wait until I am in more pain in order for something to really show up and be able to be repaired?
The crunching in your knee is due to damage, however surgery may not be the best option. Rehabing your knee by strenghtne the muscles in your calves and quadricepts will help with that situation. These types of excerices are alos the rehab you would undergo if you did have knee surgery. Work thsoe muscles to strenghten that knee joint.
I work for an oral surgeon, and you have many options other than the ones you just mentioned. The surgery itself can involve doing many different things to your jaw bone. The real thing to do is see an oral surgeon who will make you a physical therapy device. This is different than a mouth piece or braces. We make them for TMJ patients all the time, and usually within six weeks, our patients feel about 50% better. After that, they continue to improve.

I tore my acl in september while playing softball in the navy. Its not bothering me at all, unless of course i get active (ie doing sharp cuts) I run miles and miles without anything wrong. I can squat really heavy without any problems. Im not playing any sports so thats not a issue, or any other acitvities. Im just thinking long term? What would happen in the long range if i don't get it repaired?
In the long run, the ACL will start to deteriorate, and you will not be able to fix it. The ACL keeps your tibia and fibula from moving forward when the knee is still. So running on hills, playing basketball (quick starts and stops), or other such activities will be much more difficult, and if you do something that knocks the knee out, you run the chance of ruining other ligaments in the knee. You have good health insurance since you're in the navy, so get it taken care of now instead of later.
How long ago was the surgery? you should be working to regain your range of motion and strengthen you leg muscles.

they say ishould wait at least 6-8wks
I would agree with your orthopaedic team. You do not want to do too much too soon as there is a potential for your new hip to dislocate. Take the rest and follow what the consultant says. They have done countless operations and know what they are talking about.
Keno is right. That should be right on as long as you stick with the diet. Kinda neat site here with a good blog with some info on it. \n\nhttp://www.weight-losshelp.com

I had my acl surgery 5 weeks ago, I'm doing great in my rehab, but my cuadricep and harmstring are still very week, my physical therapist says that I'm probably not going to get my strength and size back until 5 or 6 month, is there a way for me to get them back faster so and balance the strength of both legs
Hard work. The PT told you correctly. Listen to them and do the exercises they tell you to do at home. You could even try upping the amount a reasonable sum to expedite your healing. Be careful not to over do it are you will be right back in the hospital repairing the same injury.
If you are already sound in your volleyball skills, conditioning seems to be your problem. Building your calf muscles and strengthening your calves should help out. Explosive movements, like jumping and sprinting heavily envolve your fast twitch muscles in your calves. Jogging in the soft sand always helps. Sprints up hills and stretching your calves will help. Calf raises will strengthen your calves but speed and your vertical jump height will come from keeping your calves fully loose and stretched out.

How many years can the concrete stay?
it depends of the situations. But the general answer is 100 years.
If you saw a doctor for arthritis that's the best you can do for now. You probably have osteoarthritis (also called degenerative joint disease) and yes, it will hurt for the rest of your life as this isn't something you can "cure" but instead is a wearing away of the cartilage that rubs together at the joint between the femur and the tibia. If the anti-inflammatory did not work you can try going in for a shot or stronger pain medication. If the doctor who diagnosed you is NOT an orthopedist, I would recommend trying to find one as they are best able to help you. Unlike a previous answer, surgery is an absolute last resort and (as someone who designs the implants) should not be done until you have exhausted all other options. \ngood luck with your treatments.

how long does a broken foot take to heel so i can play football?
It all depends on which bone(s) are broken and the type of break.\n\nObviously some bones in the foot are put under more pressure than others so it is important these are rested sufficiently to repair when broken.\n\nTypically, in a less-severe break, a healing time of 6-10 weeks is normal given the right physiotherapy and rehabilitation exercises.\n\nI would not 'guess' how long you should rest it - I would actively seek the advice of a doctor.
Your doctor will tell you when you can return to work. Be sure to follow his instructions!

how long to hip nerve blocks last
Often we will provide the surgical anesthesia with a spinal/epidural and provide pain relief after surgery with a femoral nerve block. The numbness lasts an average of 16 hours. Studies from HSS show that the pain-relieving properties of a femoral nerve block last much longer-up to 3 days. The block alone is usually not enough pain relief, so patients will have either narcotics or an epidural to help with pain, in addition to the femoral nerve block.
How long will the nerve block last? This depends on the type of block performed and the type of numbing medication used. For example, nerve blocks for hand surgery usually last for 6-8 hours, but a nerve block for pain after total knee replacement can last for 12-24 hours. Medication continuously delivered through a tiny plastic tube (nerve catheter) placed next to the nerve can last for 2-3 days.

Most gastric bypass surgery is laparoscopic, which means the surgeon makes small cuts. That makes for shorter recovery time. Most people stay in the hospital 2 to 3 days, and get back to normal activities in 3 to 5 weeks. If the surgery must be open, meaning the surgeon has to make a larger cut, healing takes longer.

how long should a total knee replacement last
A common reply to this question is that total joint replacement lasts 15-20 years. A more accurate way to think about longevity is via the annual failure rates. Most current data suggests that both hip and knee replacements have an annual failure rate between 0.5-1.0%. This means that if you have your total joint replaced today, you have a 90-95% chance that your joint will last 10 years, and a 80-85% that it will last 20 years. With improvements in technology, these numbers may improve.

Hamstring Strain Recovery Times. While every hamstring injury and the demands of your sport differ, here are some general hamstring strain recovery times when you follow an optimal physiotherapist-guided rehabilitation program. Grade 1 - 1 to 3 weeks. Grade 2 - 4 to 8 weeks. Grade 3 - 3 to 6 months. These may also require surgery.
A hamstring strain can be a pull, a partial tear, or a complete tear. Muscle strains are graded according to their severity. A grade 1 strain is mild and usually heals readily; a grade 3 strain is a complete tear of the muscle that may take months to heal. Most hamstring injuries occur in the thick, central part of the muscle or where the muscle fibers join tendon fibers. In the most severe hamstring injuries, the tendon tears completely away from the bone. It may even pull a piece of bone away with it. This is called an avulsion injury.
