Hip Brace

Chrissiex2

My 10 year old hip replacement has dislocated 3 times in 3 weeks. It has been relocated once in theatre. Second time surgery on two occasions to eventually relocate. I am in hospital, the plan is to get me mobile and send me home wearing a brace 24/7. Then wait for a further hip revision.

My question is has anyone else experienced wearing a brace after several dislocations?
