[QUOTE="crumblecookie, post: 247906, member: 37264"] Hi Crumblecookie here Again I would like some advice. I have to go into hospital for a hip replacement and now being diagnosed woth diabetes ( diet only at present) i would like to know if any one in the community has had this op and what should I look out for and is there anything I can do before I go in for the op ( apart from losing weight that is, Ha Ha ) I am also worried after being told that the "new" op where they only use a 3" cut is not now used and it will be anywhere from 10" - 15" long. My previous hip replacement 7 years ago used the little cut and it was great. Surely the longer the cut the more risk of infection. Please can anyone give me some advice [/QUOTE]
