Please tell me the qualities of James Keeney, MD - primarily hip replacement success. His success and failures if any. Does he have a good rep in the orthopaedic field? What about redoing a hip replacement that may have gone wrong and patient in same pain after surgery? What about the fact the patient takes Nardil (Phenolzine) 6 15mg a day - any complications there? What is his recovering time for hip replacement? What if both hips are painful and in a bone on bone situation? Can they be done at same time? What kind of pain medication is used after? Thank you for your help. Judith
The usual time for recovery-both in semi arthroplasty Or Total hip replacement(THR) in my unit is 10-15 days after the operation is done. We make the patient walk with support even before the sutures are removed. Patients usually resume their activities of daily living (ADL) in 2-3 was. Time. They have to avoid uneven ground & danger areas to walk.Post-operative life is usually pain less. Patients usually need medicines for other associated diseases. Bilateral THR Can be undertaken in the same session, if strongly indicated. I do not know James Keenan at all, so I can't comment about him.
