Brother-in-law had a hip replacement a couple of months ago, he fell at the weekend and this is the result.

Fuuuuck :shock: :shock:

How are they going to fix it? Can they fix the bone again??

More than just slightly interested as, although a different joint, this is my biggest fear. Some medics have said that if I break the bits of bone that the two ends of my shoulder replacement are attached to (it goes into the humerus and is screwed into the shoulder socket) then there is a good chance I'll lose the use of my arm or even lose the arm :wtf: :wtf:


REALLY hope your BIL has a very much better outcome and that they can fix the bone and get everything working again - fingers crossed

Nasty break! :shock: Looks like its going to need a couple of jubilee clips round that! :shifty: Having had my bones drilled out for new knee joints to be glued in, i'm very cautious about jumping off ladders etc. I have visions of the joints coming loose! :crazy:

It happened in Barcelona on Sunday, fortunately he has insurance. Ambulance to hospital, they were given three options for the insurance company, leave him on a trolley in casualty until they can operate (Tuesday next week), move him to a private hospital where he can get treated immediately or medivac back to the UK. The insurance company chose the leave him on a trolley option.

Again fortunately, he has a friend that works for a major national newspaper. The friend emailed my sister a form to fill out which was then passed to the consumer correspondent who then contacted the insurance company. Half an hour later he's on his way to a private hospital with surgery scheduled for tomorrow.

Bugger!!!

I have a hip replacement myself, that has gone wrong. But at least I am still in one piece!
I wish your brother in law well, and hope that they can get him sorted out.

I had arthritis in my hip and pelvis so I know his pain. This is a good memento from my x rays.

Apologies for quoting myself, this is re the friend that works for the national newspaper. It's behind a paywall, if you access to the Telegraph this is the insurance story:
