Re: Down sides of Resufacing?

[Guest guest]

I honestly can't think of any downsides - it's just a new and less drastic

procedure than a THR. Unless the resurf failed and you had to have a THR, but

to me it's worth the risk.

I suppose you could compare it to advances in other types of surgeries that

sounded too good to be true also., e.g., orthoscopic surgery for gall blader,

which is day surgery, compared to the old method when recovery was 6 weeks.

Down sides of Resufacing?

Thanks to everyone who has sent me messages in the

last couple of days, recieving and reading then

re-reading them has been wonderful for me and helped

me begin to think about what lies ahead, so thank you.

I have read so many positive things about hip

resurfacing but am finding it hard to find down sides.

I know that I may not be suitable and that the long

term effects cant be known yet, but are there any

others? Range of motion is good, recovery time pretty

good too, lasts a fair few years at least, there must

be a catch! It sounds too wonderful to be true!

Thanks

Liney
