Re: Durom Prosthesis by Zimmer

[Guest guest]

Hi

a, who posts on this board occasionally, had a Durom hip

resurf by Dr. Masri in Vancouver in February. She is doing really

well, and seems happy with it. I understand that the reason the

doctors say they are switching is because Zimmer has a huge line of

components that make replacing one part or the other easier in the

future if necessary. We also suspect that perhaps Zimmer is doing a

study of some sort in Vancouver, but we don't really know any details.

Keep an eye on your bone density if you are on a 1-1.5 year weight

list. Get your GP to order a proper bone scan of your hip (with a copy

to Dr. Garbuz as well), and if your density is getting below the

acceptable range, maybe you can be moved ahead in the list.

Hope that helps,
