Having had both hips done myself, I’d ask you “why buy time”. Getting a new hip, walking normally again, not living in constant pain—the decision is a no-brainer.
When you select an orthopaedic surgeon make sure he will do the procedure using the anterior approach. As opposed to a large incision on your hip/buttock, the anterior incision is a small one on the front of your hip. Recovery and rehab time is materially shortened if the prosthesis is installed using the anterior incision.
An excellent Orthopaedic surgeon is Dr. Steve Nguyen. He operates at Dr. Phillips Hospital in Orlando and has offices both in Orlando as well as on Route 44 here in The Villages.
