This is one of the youngest girls I have done a hip replacement in. Her right hip was replaced at the age of 13, followed by the left hip a year later. She is a blood cancer survivor who developed collapse of both hips due to the effects of chemotherapy — the same treatment that ultimately saved her life.She had ceramic bearings. Presently totally symptom free pursuing her higher studies.
Both hips had collapsed due to avascular necrosis secondary to chemotherapy. A tailored surgical plan was made to address the damage while considering her young age and medical history.
The patient responded well to both surgeries. She followed a structured rehabilitation protocol aimed at restoring mobility and function without complications.
She is now completely symptom-free and pursuing her higher studies. Her strength and determination are a true inspiration, having overcome cancer and regained full mobility.
