Who has had a hip replacement before 40?

I have been seeing a series of doctors for the past few months and was recently informed that I have Periacetabular Osteotomy (PAO), a severe form of hip dyslpasia.
According to a doctor at the Bone and Joint Clinic of Baton Rouge, there are only two surgeons in the country who are capable of performing the corrective procedure for this issue. One is located in Los Angeles and is unaffordable for most individuals, and the other individual is located in Chicago.
The only other option I appear to have before developing arthritis in my hip is to undergo a total hip replacement.
Because I am in my mid-20s, the doctor informed me that a follow-up procedure would need to be done in about 25-30 years because the artificial fixtures would ultimately wear out.
Who has undergone anything this severe and were you able to resume all previous physical activities after the procedure? To give you an idea, I was a long-distance runner for several years and I have been weightlifting since I was 16.
Thanks in advance.

Any activity you do will reduce the life of your arthroplasty.
Usually only sickle cell patients, maybe kidney failure patiients and chronic corticosteroid users need hip replacements that young.
Or congenital hip dysplasia patients of course.

Guy I played ball with had both his hips replaced and is trying to make a comeback. Can't remember what kind of disorder he had, look up Jaye Chapman. He's only 26
Eta: didn't have replacements but had surgery on both hips due to a genetic disorder just discovered.

Fortunately, I think I can rule out each of those ailments.
The doctor said this occurs in about 1 in 1000 people so I guess I'm just lucky.

My dad had one at forty and had a redo 20 years later. If you do well then you should be able to resume most normal activites but strenuous sports like sking, tennis, etc may be out of the question.

Worked with a girl who had a total hip replacement at 29, due to some condition. She was a very active soccer player. Now, 11 years later, she walks like a pimp and has gained 50 lbs.

And he went on to play in the MLB. Let's see what this loser does with his second chance.

A friend of mine was born disabled and it took like 10 years for his hip to grow in. Until he was 8 he was in a lower body cast. The way the cast was formed, it had him in this "I'm about to suck my own dick" position all the time.
Anyway, point is, I think he'll need a replacement before 40.

That's encouraging. The doctor did say that most of these conditions were more prevalent in women.

There is/was an Ortho in Michigan who was doing PAOs. Maybe if you had family up there who could house you, you could see him and do the rehab. Don't know if he is still up there though.

Like Bo Jackson, most people who need a hip replacement in their 20's is do to a condition known as Avascular Necrosis....
I had to have both my hips replaced in my 40's do to genetics, osteoarthritis, and basically beating myself up in my twenties between the water skiing and skateboarding....

My brother had a replacement at 26. He feels better than he has felt since HS. Runs daily.

I'm aware of avascular necrosis and it has absolutely nothing to do with the diagnosis I mentioned.
Hip Dysplasia:
quote:
In a “normal” hip, the head (ball) of the femur (thigh bone) is covered adequately and well seated in the acetabulum (hip socket). The hip socket is “cup shaped.” In contrast, a dysplastic hip has incomplete or inadequate coverage of the femoral head. The dysplastic hip is more “dish shaped.”
Because of the inadequate coverage of the femoral head in a dysplastic hip, the weight across the hip is distributed on a smaller surface area resulting in excessive load along the rim of the hip socket. Over time, this increased load along the rim of the socket will lead to degeneration of joint cartilage and formation of osteoarthritis.
Patients with this condition frequently seek medical attention due to activity-related hip pain (discomfort in the groin or side of the hip).
Prolonged sitting or walking can also increase these symptoms and a sensation of catching or popping may also occur. As these symptoms continue to increase, a slight limp may be noticed and more strenuous activities may become difficult.
