Chat with Dr. Mont on August 13, 2008 in the Surface Hippy Chat  Room

[Pat Walter Moderator] 8:00 pm: I am curious about why some doctors use general
anesthesia and
some use spinal with light sedation.

[Dr. Mont] 8:01 pm: Spinal anesthesia is usually less taxing on
the body but can’t be used for long procedures.
[Dr. Mont] 8:02 pm: It only takes me about an hour to do a
resurfacing so I can use either
[Dr. Mont] 8:02 pm: However, if case is going to take longer than
2 hours you often need general or an epidural

[DianeM] 8:01 pm: Another question is the leg length
discrepancy – I read that having to “hammer” the femoral component onto the head
can result in a

[Pat Walter Moderator] 7:58 pm: Welcome Dr. Mont. Thank
You for giving your time

[Chuck] 7:58 pm: How bad would bone spurs have to be to preclude someone from
having a hip resurfacing?
[Dr. Mont] 7:59 pm: For Chuck—Bone spurs on femoral neck
are not a contraindication for resurfacing–but obviously each x-ray would have
to be looked at individually–almost all arthritis is associated with spurs on
neck by the way
[Dr. Mont] 7:59
pm: Almost all arthritis leads to cysts—its just a matter of degree–the
longer you wait or tolerate arthritis in general the larger the cysts will
become—sometimes patients may wait too long to get a resurfacing because the
cysts erode away the bone stock on the femoral head—but these are typically
very late

Resurfacing]: Dr. Mont has entered at 7:51 pm

[L. Thomas] 7:54 pm: I am interested in hip resurfacing. I am having hip arthroscopy by Dr. Thomas Byrd (Nashville TN) in a couple of weeks. This is suppose to stall hip replacement for a while. I have a nickel allergy and I just wanted to find out your opinion of hip resurfacing and nickel allergies

[Dr. Mont] 7:57 pm: Arthroscopies work if minimal to no arthritis –otherwise not too useful—–nickel allergies are probably ok since resurfacings have minimal to no nickel but you should probably

[paul] 8:12 pm: For someone in his mid 50s who works in an office
setting, about how soon can he return to work after resurfacing, assuming no
comps?
[Dr. Rogerson] 8:14 pm: Hi I’ve had
patients such as dentists back in two weeks but usually it is 3-4 weeks for full
days

[paul] 8:14 pm: For how long do most patients have
to defer driving post resurfacing?
[Dr. Rogerson] 8:15 pm: when they
can walk without crutches they can drive – usually 2-3 weeks

[paul] 8:15 pm: In resurfacing, can leg length be altered to
equalize it with the contralateral leg?

[burch07] 8:51 pm: Could bursitis be the cause of swelling, pain and immobility on a 3 yr old HRS? Two OS have told me that it is very unlikely. [Dr. Schmalzried] 9:01 pm: I doubt that bursitis could cause all those symptoms.

[] 9:00 pm: Dr., which brand of resurfacing hip do you use most ? [Dr. Schmalzried] 9:01 pm: I use the ASR most, then the Cormet 2000 but have also used the C+ and the BHR.[aroepke2662] 9:00

hard to say probably it will last at least 8 years if you use good running shoes
but no one knows for sure

[Chuck] 7:01 pm: Hi Dr. Gross, what do you know
about Mid Head resection surgeries –  when do you think they will be approved
here and can they be used for revisions for hip resurfacing

[Dr. Gross] 7:06 pm:
I have no idea when mid head resections will be available, there are many stem
uncemented arthoplasties available for revision of hip resurfacing. I am using
these now. These use 3″ uncemented
implants.

[jimb] 7:06 pm: is it possible to look
at x-rays after resurfacing to gage motions or ranges which might cause unveven
wear, impingenment, or dislocation?..i’ve seen people doing yoga and such after

[hipster58] 8:09 pm: I’ve been told that SOCKET POSITION IS most
important, so I’m going to ask my Surgeon “how he will verify the position of

the socket”.  So my question to you is, what is the correct method of

[Dr. Rogerson] 8:10 pm: the best way is to know
the landmarks and use x-ray if any concerns

[] 7:04 pm: Dr Dr. Gross you did my hip on August 6th and it
feels good so far, but sometimes I still have problems with other joints I read
somewhere that Ibuprofen can “soften bone” –  if that is true can it hurt your
implant?
[Dr. Gross] 7:05 pm: Chuck, No, Ibuprofen is fine, it does not
soften bones.

bottom of a problematic right hip that shows no discomfort during activity
(hiking, running, cycling) but very sore 1-2 days after moderately intense
activity and has really sidelined me (normally very … Read the rest
