Have that rep from Zimmer contact some of the European resurfers

that have been living happy normal lives with their BHR's for over

10 years, and tell them that they made a bad move. For that matter,

have him contact the 94.5% of Dr. Amsutz original 400 patients in

his 4-6 year study and tell them too. The guy is a lying sack. I'd

like to see him get in this arena and shoot his mouth off like that.

I just had my three-year follow-up. Flexibility and ROM are HUGELY

improved from even last year, and the x-rays look great. I'm not planning

any revision any time soon, and neither is Dr. Boyd-said to come back again

in a year. So I guess it *could* be true, but it's NOT!!!

rest of my life.......... sorry but I do hope to live more than another 12

months........ Mine is almost 2 now........... sad that people who are

supposed to be honest etc are obviously telling tales.........
