Hip Dysplasia & P.A.O. Surgery: My Experience as a Patient and the Practical Recovery "Comfort Hacks" That Worked For Me

by Alexandra Hurworth

Overview

Have you - or someone you know - been diagnosed with hip dysplasia? Are you considering undergoing a PAO (periacetabular osteotomy)? Perhaps you are feeling a little anxious or scared. Perhaps you are wondering what questions you should be asking your Doctor, what to pack for the hospital, or how you and your family can prepare your home for your recovery.

I wrote this concise and easy-to-read e-book about my experience, as well as a number of tips (which I call "comfort hacks") that helped me to be more comfortable during the initial few weeks and months after surgery.

Editorial Reviews

This book is a great, short read for anyone getting ready for PAO surgery. I had mine last year and I employed many of the same comfort hacks as the author. This book gives a good idea of what to expect and the length of time involved in recovery.

This short book is very accessible to read.
It contains useful advice of things the author found helpful in her recovery and suggestions that the reader might wish to consider and put in place before the actual operation. It's nice to read that these thoughts are from a patients perspective.
