Re: BHR and AVN

[Guest guest]

To Cindy and Dr Kroker:

I think it is clear now from Dr Kroker's last message that he would

like to know if there is anyone on this site that had a successful

resurf while having AVN *AND* a bone fracture in the femoral neck. I

will try to get that confirmed and find out what Dr de Smet's

response was to that question.(OK here goes..)

Habe Ich das recht Dr Kroker? Sie haben naturlich gesehen an

diesem " website " dass es viele Leuten gibt mit AVN die eine

erfolgreiche BHR Operation gehabt haben, ins besonderes bei Dr de

Smet. Sie sagen dass alle Orthopad. glauben dass eine BHR gut moglich

ist. Ich nehme an dass Dr de Smet auch von der Bruch wusste? Wass

Ich nicht verstehe ist wass sein Antwort war. Wenn er sagt " dass

geht " dann ist alles in Ordnung. War Ihre original Frage nur zur

Bestatigung dass er uberhaupt Leute gibt mit gleiche Erfahrung?

I hoffe dass mein Kommunizierungsversuch im Deutsch genugend klar war

und wunsche Ihnen " success " .

Hallo,

Dr.De Smet tell me only of one xray per mail (unscharf, sicher nicht endgültig

aussagefähig):

the BHR is still (!!) possible to do! Thats okay for me.

Then i consult in germany some BHRér , every says: it is possible (70-100%).

I very undecided whats better!! The risk to broke the neck, loose the cup or all

the risks of THR.

That is my problem at the moment.

I can go with pain a distance from 2-3 km. It isnt good!!! But i can still work,

thats good.

And so i will go to BHR!

See you later,

BHR and AVN

Hallo all, hallo ed (!!),

" Two years ago I had a fracture in my left femoral neck due to a ski

accident. It was fixed with screws etc and after a couple of months

rehab

everything seemed to be fine. A year after the accident my left knee

started

to hurt real bad. It was diagnosed to be related to AVN in the hip

and Core

Decompression (CD) was applied. At that same time the screws for the

fracture were removed. Now after almost another year I have pain in

the hip

and am looking for a BHR resurf. Obviously I am concerned about the

shape of

my femoral neck even though Dr de Smet says he can do the BHR. I am

looking

for people with similar experiences to lessen my anxiety. So, my

question

is: are there any surfhippies with previous femoral fracture and/or

CD ?

I would be most grateful for your help. "
