Guest guest Posted April 26, 2011 Report Share Posted April 26, 2011 Hi I'm trying to put together some advice on questions that hip replacement patients should ask their surgeon before the op. I've put quite a list together already - from my own experience and from talking to patients and surgeons. On the whole patients are saying they'd wished they'd asked more about rehab (many are surprised how long it has taken for them to get going again) but the surgeons are saying that they don't get asked questions about the prosthesis - particularly how long it'll last. I was wondering what you all thought. In particular was there something you totally forgot to ask or, even more importantly, didn't know enough about to ask? I think there will be differences between questions that need to be asked in different countries depending on how the health care is funded and what is available for rehab. Most of my contacts so far have been in UK. What do you think? I'd really appreciate your thoughts on this. Thanking you in advance Pamela Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
