Re: Heterotopic Ossification

Dr. DeSmet told me that I should continue my fosomax - he gave us a

yellow pill for a few weeks that was for pain and to prevent the

problem. Not an answer to your question, but you can read between

the lines.

Hey Bev! Thank you for responding to my question. That eases my

mind. You're great to help me! How's your hip doing just over a year

later? Susie in Memphis

Hi Susie - So far, I am doing great and have no reason to think that

this will not last forever. I do all manner of things, like cross

my legs, that I would not be able to do if I had a THR.

I bless the day I found this site and Dr. DeSmet. I was a mess,

having broken my hip 12 years prior. Dr. Mont said that, he

recommended a THR for me. He said, if in insisted, he would

resurface me after the the device was apporoved, but in a 2

operation process (grafting, then resurfacing). I think Dr. DeSmet

took 5 minutes longer with me than my counterparts.

Feel free to contact me directly
