Guest guest Posted March 24, 2004 Report Share Posted March 24, 2004 I was diagnosed with Perthes at 7 and, at 42, can no longer stand the pain. In addition, my left leg is one inch shorter than my right which is causing back, knee, and even foot problems. At this point, my left leg has atrophied to almost no muscle and even my left butt muscles are noticeably atrophied. Naturally, I feel it's time to address this. I have been told by a resurfacing surgeon that I may not be a candidate because the socket may not be deep enough, due to years of wear against a deformed ball. This doc currently uses the Corin product. Does anyone know of another product that may be more suited to my condition? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
