Has anyone got a resurfacing on the NHS? non MOM? Best surgeons in the UK?

[Hippyu]

Has anyone had a resurfacing on the NHS? If so are they all MOM? I am 34, if i live to 80 i may need multiple revisions. It makes a resurfacing the only viable option.

Also who are the most experienced surgeons in the UK? Ideally i would not want MOM. Any idea of their private costs?

Read my story! From Autoazure. I had an NHS Resurfacing done in Glasgow doe by Professor Meek. I had the Adapt system MOM as the long-term data for other types is not long enough! At 65 I am now running 55 miles per week and have returned to races! My metal ion levels are absolutely normal. Prof Meek also does Private resurfacings!

However.........in the hands of very experienced surgeons, the MOM devices last a VERY long time.  I wouldn't write it off entirely.  Unless you're prone to metal allergies, a MOM device properly installed won't wear.
