Metal on Metal resurfacing - question for group

[Guest guest]

Group,

Just a question for this group, long story short, I have

osteonecrosis bilat. hips, had core decompression already,

belong the the ON group through yahoo, great!

Right hip has been colapsing, I know I need either

THR or metal on metal resurfacing, I need to decide

about MOM soon though due to collapse of femoral head.

I just wanted to know or hear from someone who ACTUALLY

had the metal on metal resurfacing. i am a nurse so I know all the

technique, etc I wanted to hear from someone who

had MOM of hip(s) and how the post-op recovery was, if you had any

problems, etc. I know that everyone is different but

it is always nice to hear from someone who has had it!

I have a great/expert ortho in this, so that is not an issue.

Thanks in advance for your time! Kim in MD
