Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Hi. Trudy, I am just pretty much just sitting around doing basic PT excercises. I will be able to drive this Friday and that will help me I think. Getting a little cabin fever. How is your resurfacing research going?

Guest guest Posted July 16, 2001 Report Share Posted July 16, 2001 Trudy, I went surfing in Baltimore with Dr. Mont and his great team. I have (had) bilateral femoral head AVN. I had a partial surf on the left with a full surf on the right. Conserve Plus. I would strongly recommend Baltimore .....a very positive experieince. Email me if you have any questions.

I was advised to get my hands on a copy of what they send to doctors about the procedure. Anyone know how to do that? I got my xrays in my clutches and will be sending them out ASAP. Also have an app. with the local OS to talk. Trudy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot depends on how difficult your hips would be and your size. As my Dr. told me, we do one hip, then roll you over on that fresh hip for 2-3 hours while we do the second hip-with my size, I'd be begging for a blood clot. I had mine approx. a month apart although I see some docs do them a week apart (I personally don't get that AT ALL-the first is not fully weight bearing, staples are still in, etc.).

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 ..

As might be expected data seems to indicate much higher complication rate for bilat surgery. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I never thought about clots. I was thinking mainly about, " Will the surgeon be able to hold out that long? " and about the length of anesthesia.

Guest guest Posted July 17, 2001 Report Share Posted July 17, 2001 Trudy, Yes some do simultaneous re-surf. I would say it is less common. I had the 2nd just 7 days after first, as many do. It is quite hard for 2-3days after the 2nd but you know what to expect after the first. Getting recovery done in one go is no problem because you just get better and better, which goes on for well over the 12 month mark. If you stay optimistic and delighted at progress, however slow, life is a constant " buzz " of progress. I would strongly recommend having both done close together if you are up to it and your surgery team think so too.
