Your Body Is Speaking
Your hip joint was once one of the most mobile joints in your body — a ball-and-socket joint that allowed you to go in any direction, to turn, to bend, to stand up, to set off at a run. And now it is so worn that it must be replaced. With metal and ceramic. With something artificial that takes over the function your own tissue can no longer perform.
From a medical standpoint it is about arthrosis, cartilage degradation, bone changes — a deterioration that has at some point reached a point where repair is no longer possible. But if you look more closely, you notice: this deterioration has a history. And the history is not only about biomechanics.
A hip replacement is not a routine procedure — it is an incision, in the most literal sense. Your body is telling you something radical with this: the old foundation on which you have been moving no longer holds. A new foundation is needed.
