Dr. Schmitt (Dr. Detroit) is awesome.

After spending a year on here and researching else where I picked the best surgeon I could get and the device with the longest and best track record the BHR.

Excellent, Happy - how far along are you on the second?

[Rosie90]

Is there perhaps a page describing the different devices?  I've been told that I will receive a similar device to the BHR, but it is less expensive.

Here you go rosey:

Pat has put together a list of the most common devices. What is the name of yours?

[Pat Walter]

Rosey

There are only 3 hip resurfacing devices FDA approved being used in the US.  BHR, Cormet and Wright Conserve Plus.  Dr. Gross uses the Biomet which has both components FDA approved, but not approved as a device.  It is used "off label" for insurance coverage since both components have been approved separately. 

I would always ask the surgeon just what I was getting and what size.  They should give you a card telling that after your surgery.
