Resurfacing for CHD?

[Guest guest]

Hi

I have a CHD of both hips, but only my right is painful. I was

wondering if anyone has chosen to have resurfacing over an osteotomy

for a dysplasic hip? I'm worried that because the socket it smaller

than normal this might cause a problem if I had resurfacing. Also,

I'm only 26 and concerned of the life of a resurface. But then,

noone can actually answer that since it's been less than ~10yrs

since the first was ever done. Being a scientist too, I understand

the need for expts, but do I wanna be one of them??! I was part of

an expt as a child that got me into this mess - they decided not to

put me into a cast as a baby thinking the joint might grow as i

started to crawl. No-ones fault, no-ones fault....time to deal with

it now.
