Paulina Porizkova Undergoing Double Hip Replacement Due to Congenital Hip Dysplasia
The supermodel's condition has led to severe 'bone on bone' wear, necessitating simultaneous replacement of both hips.
- Supermodel Paulina Porizkova is undergoing a double hip replacement surgery due to congenital hip dysplasia, a condition she was born with that has worn out the cartilage in her hips.
- Porizkova revealed that the condition of her hips is so severe that doctors recoiled at her x-rays, noting that it was 'bone on bone'.
- Due to the severity of her condition, Porizkova is having both hips replaced at the same time, as doing one at a time would impede healing and mobility.
- Porizkova expressed gratitude that her condition is fixable and shared that she has a strong support system, including her boyfriend Jeff Greenstein, her family, and friends.
- Prior to her surgery, Porizkova enjoyed a vacation, which she referred to as her 'last vacation with old hips'.
