Hip Replacements for Polio Survivors
Dr. Bruno’s Original Post: We often ask whether polio survivors can have joint replacements if they have muscle weakness. The workability of hip replacement is the most common concern.
This is a too technical article on hip replacement in polio survivors with associated references from the National Library of Medicine. (I don't expect you to read the articles, except for the abstracts or conclusions.) I would suggest that you bookmark this address for your orthopedists' information if hip replacement is suggested.
I highly recommend this video series that explains the anatomy of the Hip and other joints.
