Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Jim, In LA, give the Joint Replacement Institute a call Drs Amstutz, Schmalzried and Beaule have been doing resurfacing, as well as THR. They and their staff are some of the best in the business. http://www.jri-oh.com/ Hope that helps, - Resurfacers in LA Area? Has anyone seen an OS in the LA area who resurfaces as well as does THR? If you do, I'd like your thoughts, opinions and recommendations. Thanks Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 9, 2004 Report Share Posted January 9, 2004 Thanks, That was what I was looking for. I'm due to get an OS consult next week from my FP. Have you had first hand experience or know of someone who has had with them. They're associated with the LA Orthopedic Hosp, aren't they? Is resurfacing FDA approved so that you can get insuramce coverage?

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2004 Report Share Posted January 23, 2004 To whom it may concern: I interviewed Dr Amatutz and Dr Schmaliered and had my BHR done by Dr. De Smet in Belgium and I am glad I did. He simply gave me more confidence. Enough confidemce to travel to Europe instead of haveing it done in LA where I live. JB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
