[QUOTE=“Dirty Hands Walter, post: 974609, member: 9”]Exactly, @Bisto. It’s almost become fashionable to have it done.
@Julio Geordio, you’ll see from O’Gara’s quote that they shave the ball or socket or something to make it fit.
Mine would involve doing that but they’d also need to remove some other bits and pieces - bone or tissue or something I can’t recall.
The surgeon says people are only being cynical about the amount of these surgeries because the knowledge and surgical capability didn’t exist to carry them out before. It’s an area that’s advancing all the time. He would say that though.[/QUOTE]
So you’re reluctant to get your ball shaved?
They mixed some fucking dye or something into the medical fluids before having another MRI scan. The dye apparently goes into the hip joint and makes the scan output more clear and easier to analyse - it’s called an MRI arthogram. The surgeon chap wants to confirm his belief from review of the original/standard scan that this hip arthroscopy is required. I console myself by the fact that both Conor McGrath and Liam McGovern have had similar procedures in recent years and look how they both performed last weekend.

would your game be built around jinks and quick transfer of weight like them two, pal?..i´d say you were a joy to watch in that county final all those years ago…
Did I ever tell you about the county semi-final in 1995 when (while on a solo-run) I flipped the ball over Eoin Quigley’s head, collected it on the other side of him on my stick (without the ball hitting the ground) and nonchalantly popped it over the bar ala Kevin Broderick for Galway against Kilkenny that time?
great story pal…did i ever tell you about the time i was on the back pitches in sarsfields ground playing a leinster u-16 blitz and after a liquid lunch in wexford town ,thanks to my new fake ID, i broke about 3 hurls off a lad called brownie from wexford who i think scored more in that match than every other team in the tournament managed to score in total…please tell me your name is brownie and fragments of my hurl are whats causing the hip problem…

Seems to be an issue with a lot of younger sportsmen, obviously you have kept yourself in superior shape and followed all recent training advances.
Well done @Dirty Hands Walter
Additionally @Bisto that may have been Darren Browne, can you confirm who you were in fact playing?

wexford east or west or north or south…i can’t remember exactly what way they were divided up…or maybe just wexford and it was kilkenny who was divided up… many moons ago pal…and like I said i was half in the bag…he was lethal who ever he was…stocky fooker…he’d be about 35/36 now…
Back with the surgeon today following the MRI arthogram earlier this week. He recommends the keyhole surgery so I’m weighing up my options. He’d repair/remove the torn hip cartilage and shave some of the bone so the ball and socket would knit together as intended in the future.
It’d be a general anaesthetic 1.5 hour operation, overnight stay, minimum 4 weeks on crutches, same time off work and then 3-4 months physio/rehab. Thinking of pencilling in surgery for mid-September so I’m not laid up for Wexford’s march to All Ireland senior hurling glory.

You will miss the replay Walter.
I was reminded of your post on the thread a while back when he started into his caveat speech:
“Now I must tell you there’s risk inherent in every surgery. I can’t guarantee you that it’ll be a success but 80% of patients report significant improvement to the extent that the issue is fully resolved. However, there’s also approximately 15% who don’t see any improvement and, in fact, there’s 5% that report a worsening of the condition. This can be caused by damage to nerves during surgery, for example…”

I had a bit of nerve damage. Have a numb patch on my leg permanently. You get used to it after a while.

So there’s a 20% chance it’ll be no improvement or worse? And he’s recommending this? Wtf!?
