Guest guest Posted July 6, 2008 Report Share Posted July 6, 2008 Just a tip for everyone- even though I knew what brand and type of hip I was getting in my THR in Dec. 2004, I contacted the hospital after about 3 months and requested a copy of my " operative record " . Basically this is a blow-by-blow description of the surgery and includes the model and serial number of your new joint. It also includes a list of every drug and anesthetic that was administered, etc. You may not need all this info for anything in particular, but I find it somehow comforting to have. In my case, I have the infamous Ceramic Trident and i may indeed need this info in the future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
