Liney- Have you sent your x-rays to Dr De Smet? He takes on challenging cases with great success. You are so young to have that much of your bone so permanently removed. It really would be worth it for you. There was a gentleman who posted here about 2 years ago. He also was turned down by everyone. Even Mr. McMinn and Treacy. Dr De Smet resurfaced him and he is going strong. Please keep in touch. Rock climbin' Jude LBHR De Smet 09/11/02 > > > > > > ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted July 26, 2004 Report Share Posted July 26, 2004 Liney, I trust you're going for a large head metal-on-metal THR, rather than a ceramic or poly?

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Hi Dave I have been advised by 2 different consultants to have an uncemented ceramic hip with a metal cup. Do you think this is incorrect? Cheers Liney ___________________________________________________________ALL-NEW Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2004 Report Share Posted July 27, 2004 Liney, I don't know whereabouts in the UK you are, but Mr Latham has done many hundred hip jobs and he will do a resurface if at all possible. I'm having mine done in just over 2 weeks at the Wessex Nuffield. However if finances are an issue he also does NHS work in Southampton. When I was referred to him back in February he told me that BHR was the most desirable way to go, but if after opening me up he found that it was not feasible, then Plan B would be a large-head metal on metal THR. However, whichever route you decide to take, may I join the rest of the board in wishing you the very best.
