Grisly find in Sam Armytage's surgery
Samantha Armytage has revealed the grisly find doctors made when she underwent hip replacement surgery.
The Farmer Wants A Wife host, 47, took to Instagram to share a photo of a piece of cartilage surgeons removed from her joint during the surgery.
“Do you want to see something disgusting from my recent operation?” she began with a warning to more squeamish followers.
“Lol. I knew you’d all look,” she continued.
“This is a 3cm chunk of rock-like cartilage that’s been floating around inside my hip joint for decades. As my surgeon said; ‘you must have been in soooooo much pain!’ I was.”
The TV star previously said that she had a skiing accident 30 years ago, which took a toll on her right hip.
“I’d torn all the cartilage out,” she wrote on Instagram at the time.
“It was bone-on-bone and then became full of severe osteoarthritis.”
“I’m now truly bionic and my nearest and dearest are pleased to not have to watch me limp around in pain anymore,” Armytage said.
“Huge thanks to the wonderful nurses (at St Vincent’s Hospital Sydney) for the care, a lil’ bit of Endone … heaps of rehab and all my beautiful friends for my flower-filled room!”
