It is sad to get old and broken down.
Actually it is healing nicely. Been back in the gym for 2 weeks now. Replacement was done 2/9/2011. Bottom shot is of my biopsied femoral head. That is me holding it today in the pathologist lab. Neat huh?

Should put this on ebay...you have a cool face buit into it. Glad you're doing well

You are built like a female...

Why a replacement being so young (relatively young)?

He fucked himself up by lifting weights too hard and heavy.
Shoulda just rode a bicycle instead.

Dude I know!! When I saw it, my first thought was "wow, it's so dinky!" I am 6 feet tall exactly and I was stunned how little my femoral head actually is. It was a little "fuller" when it was living and fully hydrated but it is still very small. I'm glad I never saw it all those years I was raising hell- I would have been too scared of breaking it if I fell down.

Was it necrotic?

Dude..I so see it. It's some kinda Donnie Darko shit.

Whoa they had to bolt your penis back on?

depleted bone mass/density due to excessive meat consumption

hence the name "wishbone"

god fucking damn you are clueless

he said "just the head", pay attention.

Terrible bone spurs that were really limiting my left leg's range of motion. Many sleepless nights- constant pain. Unable to train hard without needing days & days to recover. I was actually starting to change my gait and that was leading to more problems. The Xrays showed the problems clearly and I could no longer medicate (Celebrex, cortisone, etc) or "train around" the problem.

No sir. It still had excellent blood supply. There were just too many structural problems at the 'ball & socket" to avoid the replacement.

How old are you? That xray appears to be of a man of at least his late 40s.
-
nice bone ( no homo)
-
What exactly was the problem? And was it from an injury or just wear and tear?

You know your bones- I am 49 years old.

You have very nice bones yourself.

thanks i try. the key is a good calcium and magnesium supplement.

-Bone on bone contact for 3.5 - 4 years.
-Limited and decreasing range-of-motion due to bone spurs.
-Involuntary change in my gait. It was becoming difficult to walk like a normal cat no matter how hard I tried (the pain didn't matter, I was starting to walk "differently".)
-I would often wake up at 3am/4a/5am because of the bone on bone pressure.
It was primarily wear and tear. There was no single incident of trauma. Keep in mind I am 49 years old and have a solid history of competitive powerlifting, cycling, wrestling & football (through High School ) bodybuilding, and while not competitive as a runner, I have run several (9) marathons and have completed several endurance events that probably didn't help my hip. Combine that with plenty of drinking and just raising hell. It's odd, I am right handed and therefore "right footed" so for all those years I would use my right leg as my stronger leg. The X-rays show my right hip to be in truly excellent condition. Strange.
Below is the same femoral head seconds after being cut from my femur. It looks much nicer here I think. The shiny strip down the center is a result of bone-on-bone contact for 3+ years. For reference, the doctor's bloody gloved index finger is touching at the top at the 1 o'clock position.

Holy Shit! That's insane.
I had surgeries on both my knees over 15 years ago and over 95% of my cartilage and meniscus was cut out. It's a constant battle with me. I have to inject Alflutop every other day just to function. I have a couple of years on you and, yes, at least from a physical stand point, getting old sucks balls.
Those that say age is all in a mind are usually those who have never pushed themselves physically in their life. There's still fire in my mind and spirit but the body just can't keep up anymore.

What's the prognosis? Likely to be squatting poundages eventually, Wishbone ?
-
I hope you recover.
Having tender structure is not always a plus.
Heavy weights need a good support system - after some years in the gym I've finally seen someone benching 405 and he was built like Goudy.

Living tissue over a metal endoskeleton? Speedy recovery, bro.
