Guest guest Posted April 30, 2004 Report Share Posted April 30, 2004 Hello everyone! My brain is exploding with all of the information I have been getting. I am still struggling with insurance, but hoping for the best. Apparently, my case is in 'utilization review' & I may find out at the last minute & be off to Dr. Gross in 2 weeks. At this point I feel confident that most of the Doctor's discussed are very good. I have one last major question before I go, maybe some of you know: In researching JRI in California, I found out that they use s Conserve + for Hip Resurfacing, & the same company for Total Hip Replacement. They say that these devices fit well together if you need to convert the resurfacing to a total hip in the future. (You don't have to replace all the parts, just add some) This is one big advantage. I am trying to plan for the future & potential problems. Does anyone know what device Dr. Gross uses for a hip resurfacing & for a total hip. If I were to need to have my resurfacing converted in the future, would I have to fly to South Carolina, or can local doctors in Colorado access the same device from the company that Dr. Gross uses? Does anyone know if the device he uses is the same one they use at JRI? Obviously, I am hoping for the best & hoping that I won't have to do another surgery, but I do have to plan for that in case it becomes reality. Thank you for all of your support & help! I have already learned so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
