Allegedly, i have reviewed john today.Unfortunately he required revision of his right total hip replacement due to fracture of the modular neck.The broken off taper was unable to be removed and the femoral stem was revised to a smith and nephew redapt stem.The acetabulum was unchanged.On review today he is progressing well.He is no longer calling me david.He is walking with out aids for up to 100m and has managed to get buy in the caravan.He is waiting for his endurance to improve so that he can manage the trip back to victoria.I have not made any plans to review john but would be happy to do so if the need arises.The reporter sent that the surgeon told him that the revision was due to a fall.
