Hip and Knee Replacement Information

[Guest guest]

Several members have requested information related to custom

manufactured hip and knee replacements, including physicians that have

LP patient experience. I have a call out to my contacts at the

orthopedic hospital in NYC where I used to work and will post their

reply when it arrives. Sorry, I could not provide the information any

sooner.
