ALT "You've had this operation thinking that life is going to be so much better now becuase you're not in pain, you're able to walk. And then all of a sudden, it's like, right, this is now happened, is all that gone?" Sue, hip replacement patient.
Patients with prosthetic hip infection need to understand what's involved, what to expect, and how to best prepare for treatment and rehabilitation.
