THR benefits? any advice anyone?!!

[Guest guest]

I'm a 22 year old woman and I have pretty severe bone on bone

osteoarthritis in my right hip as a result of congenital hip

dislocation. The time has come to do something about it as it is

affecting every aspect of my life. I've seen a few doctors and so

far most seem to be pushing for me to go for hip resurfacing which I

am very open minded about. However one doctor I have spoken to is

completely against it - he wants to take the plate out of my hip,

wait two years (or longer if I can bear it) and then give me a THR.

I feel inclined to go for the resurfacing as if it is successful my

quality of life will be regained much quicker and there's a

possibility it will last me the rest of my life. THe only problem is

that I feel like this option is being 'sold' to me from almost every

angle and because of this I don't know if I'm being given the full

picture.

DOes anyone know of why this other doctor (who is well respected in

his field) is so against resurfacing?

What are the benefits of a THR over a resurf?

ANY advice/opinions/musings greatly appreciated
