My hip replacement was a success until after the 5th month post op. Then FOR ME, it all went downhill...shorter leg showed it's ugly head and body was so off and I live with all that now, 8 yrs coming up soon. Hope you are more successful ongoing. And then there is all the nerve damage from Anterior approach....my surgeon did a sloppy job and was in a hurry to go home. That's my thinking on it all.
Yet all you have to base your "thinking" on is that your surgery was done on a Friday. How long were you in the OR, by the way?
I'm on another group and a member's mother is doing good with stem cells...here is what she says:
((As the doctor in ARO clinic explained, the majority of the cells are obtained from the bone marrow of the patient. The stem cells are derived from the fat present in the bone marrow of the patient. When these cells are injected into the affected area, they can transform into the cells needed for that area. New growth and healing is stimulated by these stem cells when they are injected into the injured area.
So far, my mom has had 3 shots and she says she already feels the results. We didn't get our hopes up for this treatment cuz I read that some people weren't helped, but, fortunately, this therapy is helping my mom, her body doesn't reject the cells.))
So it all depends on the money one can spend to do these. And how against they are about surgery. As I said I'm concentrating on dextrose and PRP as I've had them and they work in my body, dextrose for sure.

No nerve damage and I am positive this will be good 10 years from now.
Anterior approach is less invasive. I wouldn't want my muscle cut.

Yes, I did my research and that's what I found too so went with that Anterior. You can find links on nerve damage and anterior now. I followed a surgeon's site in Louisiana and he had done Anteriors but found he was doing nerve damage, so pretty much stopped them
So as I've said, these surgeries are all crapshoots.
A neighbor had one posterior and one anterior and no nerve damage...but she barely walks...lives on rollator.
Your youth is one your side. My issues didn't start to really get to me until I was early 70's although a life of OA...guess I'm lucky in that respect.

I would hardly call a 95% success rate a crap shoot.
"The success rate for this surgery is high, with greater than 95% of patients experiencing relief from hip pain. The success rate of hip replacements 10 years after surgery is 90- 95% and at 20 years 80-85%. Should an implant wear or loosen, revision to a new hip replacement is possible."

Whether from surgery or not,one leg shorter can cause problems which in no way has anything to do with the surgeon botching the job or being sloppy or hurrying off to his golf game
Remedies, besides forever blaming the doctor include such things as heel lifts.
Then stop making up stories about "crap shoots" and "50 50" results when you know it isn't true....
And there's the problem. Real life experiences (good and bad) can be soooo informative. I want to know the risk but to paint joint replacement as some "lucky" hunch as jammin does, is in no way helpful or informative.
Yes I absolutely want to know the risk, I could do without the "my surgeon is a knife pushing drone of the Insurance company " commentary.
They do a disservice to all

Jammin did post the difference in leg length once, and when I looked it up, a large percent of the population naturally has that discrepancy.
