DR. De Smet did not ask me to be prepared for a backup. He has done so

many of these, when I saw him before i left Belgium he said that he had just

done his 437th resurfacing. Thats a lot of experience. When you meet

him and hear that experience echoing through his voice, you will realize.

If you have this question, and ask him, i know that he will answer briefly

an answer of his sureness. Andy was almost to the point, according to Dr.

De Smet, that he waited too long for a resurface and would have had to settle

for a THR. But, he went for a resurfacing, and that is what he recieved.

I feel very blessed that my insurance company forced me to go to Belgium. I

feel that i was in the hands of angels in this matter.

I believe that if there is a chance that you may not be able to have the

resurfacing, Dr. De Smet will tell you.

" Everyone has to have a back-up when they have resurfacing just in

case they get in there and something unexpected is found. "

That isn't true in 's and my case is it Jude, Peg? Dr. De Smet

didn't ask you to be prepared for a back-up (THR) did he? Once Dr. De

Smet has committed to a re-surf he doesn't back out does he? There

has been no mention in my communications with him about a 'back-up'.

Cliff and I asked Dr. de Smet about this and were told that if for

some reason a THR is needed he does a ceramic on ceramic ( I

believe) HOWEVER he has never yet had to change his mind once he

started. He does not say it would never happen, but just that so far

it hasn't been necessary.

Hi, Lynda

I was resurfaced by Dr. de Smet in July. I knew that I had a

problem because of bone cysts and asked him if he found he could not

resurface what he would use. He replied that if he had to use

traditional THR, he would use ceramic-on-ceramic. I think that

everyone who goes in for resurfacing should discuss with their

surgeon what prosthesis he would use if it turned out that

resurfacing was not the best option - it's one of the things you

should bear in mind when choosing a surgeon. I was quite happy to

leave the decision up to him.
