Guest guest Posted May 17, 2004 Report Share Posted May 17, 2004 Dr. Mark... You're the guy with the knife. So tell me it this be true. My sports med doc (now former, because of the dismissive way he dealt with the possibility of resurfacing) did talk about methods for THR. I asked about minimally invasive surgery for the THR (which I still believed then would be my only course)...and he said it's not a good idea on hip surgeries because...the location of the sciatic nerve is so variable person-to-person. He was concerned that such a procedure posed greater risk of damaging...or even severing the sciatic. That, if I read my Gray's Anatomy right, would be a fair disaster for future locomotion.
