Guest guest Posted July 5, 2004 Report Share Posted July 5, 2004 I know every OS is different but would like to know which tests were performed prior to surgery. I'm a little concerned my OS has not ordered a bone density scan prior to my surgery. I'm a 51yr. old in excelent health. Thanks for any feedback.

Guest guest Posted July 9, 2004 Report Share Posted July 9, 2004 I have neen told by a few OS that bone density can also be determined by x-rays in most cases. If they thought further tests wwere necessary they would hav a bone scan done... I am also 51 and scheduled for bil;ateral resurfacing in August -- no bone scan ever scheduled and I have asked. Hope this helps ease your mind In surfacehippy , " rfided " wrote: > I know every OS is different but would like to know which tests were > performed prior to surgery.
