poly hip HR

[hernanu]

Thank you Hernanu,
That was very nice of you to break the numbers down like that. It was helpful. And I feel Dr. Gross has some impressive statistics. He is very confident. He has given me very good percentages on what he feels are my odds for MOM wear and femoral neck fracture. Im looking forward to speaking with him in person. Thanks again for the info..lyn

No problem Lyn, I think the more you know, the better decision you can make.

One thing you can't see in the raw numbers is the tendencies that are available when you graph them. The graphs are in the pages I listed; the one thing that stood out to me is that they are asymptotic curves, or a curve of behavior that goes to a limit. In this case (in my opinion), the number of new revisions would decrease over time, so when that as more years pass the new revisions become a low percentage of the HRs. In an earlier, misspent youth I was a biochemistry researcher and was all over these kind of patterns.

Just my opinion, but it makes me feel better.
