Resurfacing in Alberta, Canada

[Guest guest]

I just discovered that there is a group of 7 OSs at the Rocky

Mountain Hospital (Alberta) that did 65 hip resurfacings in 2003

and were scheduled for another 100 or so in 2004. Anybody have any

experiences here. They are using the BHR prosthesis. I am on a 1.5

yr waitng list in Vancouver but am 60 yrs old. In Alberta they are

accepting 55 as the max age for this procedure. Any responses would

be appreciated. Again, the 4 doctors in Vancouver are using the

Duron prosthesis by Zimmer. Any responses on this prosthesis also

would be appreciated. Thanks for all of the great input on this

board.
