DO you mind my asking, how did you know you had an infection in your hip?  What are the signs?

Thank you.

Hi Hemu,
I don’t think this surgery would be enough for you to correct both problems of shortness and walking issue or gait issue.
It can correct some of your gait issue, but shortness I would doubt.
If the surgeon is experience and trying to claim that he can correct your shortness then I think you should ask him how would be able to correct the same.
As I have mentioned in other post that it might help you in most of problem but not completely.
Keep me posted.
Bye.
