Usually only sickle cell patients, maybe kidney failure patiients and chronic corticosteroid users need hip replacements that young.



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.
