The only words to describe me are, JUST PLAIN HAPPY! This is life, this is wonderful. At six weeks I was at the halfway point between the left leg which was surfed 2-35-05 and the right leg which is going to be surfed 5-27-05.

Decreased head-neck ratio diameter and component malposition in total hip arthroplasty are factors known to result in impingement, increased rates of dislocation, wear and failure. In addition to these complications, impingement of the femoral neck on the acetabular component of a hip resurfacing may result in femoral neck fracture and loosening of the acetabular component.

Dear Dr. Bala,
I apologize for seeming to have neglected or ignored you. I have begun this missive on several occasions, only to stumble over my own limitations. I know I promised you a recommendation you might be able to use on your web site. You have my permission to use any or all of this email in any way you see fit.

In fact, one study found that “in spite of a good hip score, only 43% of patients had all of their expectations completely fulfilled,” said Robert L. Barrack, MD, chief of service, Orthopedic Surgery, at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, Mo. Although patient selection is rarely an |

Can I have an MRI after I had a hip resurfacing? This is a question many people ask after having a hip resurfacing. This is Dr. Rubinstein’s answer: MRI is perfectly safe with any orthopaedic implant (joint replacements, fracture hardware screws and others). The implants may degrade the picture quality in the areas right near the implants but no harm will come to the implants or the surrounding bone. Pacemakers are another story and are |
