I couldn't have put it better. In my case (due to my little renal

problem), he did an enormous amount of homework on nephrology and

toxicology (consulting not only my nephrologust, who was quite gung-ho

on the whole idea of resurfacing, but two independent nephrologists)

as well as surgeons in Europe who had resurf-ed patients with severe

kidney problems (much worse than mine). We must've had 3 or 4 *long*

phone consultations, and he was always extremely generous with his

time and expertise.

Oh, and (for the first time in years) MY HIPS DON'T HURT!!!

I agree. People have a tendency to complain about a bad experience but

say nothing when good things happen. I am 3 1/2 years post-op with a

Conserve+ surface replacement (left hip). My experience with JRI, and

Dr. Amstutz in particular, was great. I feel Dr. Amstutz gave me my

life back. I am only 37 y.o. and was fairly active before my hip

started getting bad. Now I am 3 1/2 years post-op and I can hardly

remember that I had my hip replaced. When I go back once a year it's

always great to get to talk to Dr. Amstutz for a few minutes and try to

get a little info about how the trial is going. So put me in the

positive column also!

Talk to you later,

Hi Darrin,

Great to hear you are doing well. Are you in the database? If so

great. If not, please add your success story to the database so we

all have a feel for success stories after resurfacing.

Regards,

Dr. Mark
