Re: Boston area surfacehippy Surgeons?????

[Guest guest]

Hi ,

I'm a physical therapist in the Boston area. I haven't as yet come across

any MD's doing resurfacing in the Boston area. I've had one patient go

down to Dr. Mont in Baltimore for his surgery and another who's deciding

on Dr. Mont or heading off to Belgium. I would think in the next year it

should catch on with some Boston surgeons. Good luck!

Tim, thanks for response. Since I wrote the group email, I've called

all area hospitals and found at least three doctors in the area whose

receptionists say they do hip resurfacing -- judging from lack of

surfacehippy response re my initial question, doesn't sound like they've

done too many cases or maybe their patients are just so happy they

haven't went looking for information......

Can you give me more info on Dr. Mont: Hospital, etc?

Thanks.

Caveat here --- the original resurfacing from ages ago (uses poly

components and fails within 5 years due to all the debris generated by the

larger head) is still an approved implant. A few months back some people

found that there are surgeons who will give you this implant and do

(justifiably) call it resurfacing. Others have been found that somewhat

inaccurately refer to doing hemi-resurfacings as 'resurfacings'. Please get

to know your components before hopping on anyone's bandwagon. The implants

that are in trial have only a few orthos and these are pretty well known.

You can reach Dr. Mont at:

Center for Joint Preservation and Reconstruction

Sinai Hospital of Baltimore

2401 West Belvedere Avenue

Baltimore, MD. 21215

His assistant's name is Colleen.

The miracle working insurance person is (who got

me approved with no hassle).

To start the ball rolling, they no doubt need X-Rays first, then

they will send you a jumbo info packet and put you on their

surgery schedule.

I am scheduled for surgery there (yippee!) on March 27th. There

are many people on this site who have used Dr. Mont already and

can help you out if you request it. Capt. Amazo is a good person

to ask for information from (Hi Capt!).

Good luck! (Don't wait too long, hips tend to go fast when the pain

starts....they're talking to you now!)
