Guest guest Posted May 9, 2004 Report Share Posted May 9, 2004 After reading an article in our local paper in Vancouver I am interested in finding out who in Vancouver offers this resurfacing procedure. I am on a wait list for total hip replacement, only since January, and received a call to go in for it the end of this month. I had to delay that as I wasn't ready to go in so early. I am female, 54 years of age in excellent condition other than the limp and look like I am 80 when trying to get going for the first few seconds. I have read on this message board statements that maybe I am too old for this resurfacing procedure. Can any one out there help me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 10, 2004 Report Share Posted May 10, 2004 I can't answer the Vancouver part but I was 58 when I had my surgery last May so you're definitely not too old! Depends on how active you want to remain and for me giving up downhill skiing for the rest of my life was unacceptable - as well as the other restrictions THR puts on a person. All the best! ruth 5/13/03 DeSmet > After reading an article in our local paper in Vancouver I am > interested in finding out who in Vancouver offers this resurfacing > procedure.
