Guest guest Posted April 9, 2004 Report Share Posted April 9, 2004 last week I sent x-rays to dr.de Smet asking if it is possible to resurface hips with perthes disease(both femoral heads are like big mushrooms) and today I got an unswer.He tried to template them and it seems right one would be possible to resurface with the bigest possible head 58 mm ,needing a 64 or 66 mm dysplasia cup.The left one looks too big to get bigest head but he says that there is possible a magnification of the x rays and he has never encountered somebody where the head was to big.The only question for him is if my pelvis is big enough to receive 66mm cups,so I will make ct test and send it to him.I didnt expect that enyone can do resurfacing at my hips,but my question for everyone is how big a head and cup is for people with normal hips,is it too big 66 mm and if I need revision with THR how they are going to install a cup and how big it is going to be? Is there anyone at this group who has so big head and cup.? Any sugestion and contact would be wellcome.Thanks. Spasky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
