Ok, don’t tell your surgeon you did that. Politely tell him you feel long on the operative side and ask him to see if there is a discrepancy. They can use boney landmarks and a straightedge and show you in clinic. With a half way decent digital pacs system, they can measure it and give you a precise measurement. I obviously haven’t seen your pre op or post op films, but I’d guess you were a little short preoperatively. Common in an arthritic hip. I’d also guess they left you slightly long, 2-4mm, in order to make you stable. The result of going from a little short to a little long can leave you feeling more than a little long. Your body will adjust if that’s the case. Now if you are 3/4” long, almost 2 cm, ask your surgeon why he left you that long. Maybe there is a good reason. I doubt you are that long though…but would be interested in hearing the explanation if you are. Your spine or back issues can also play a part if you have issues there. Please report back and if you have your films I’d love to look at them. You can have them burn you a copy if you aren’t satisfied with what you hear at your follow up. Hope the recovery is going well other than the stated issues.
