Title: Any AVN Patients On Here Resurfed by DR MONT?
Post by: markkenter on April 30, 2010, 11:56:11 AM
Probably not but i figured I would ask

I know Dr Mont is an excellent surgeon and i know he has done many  AVN cases which is why i flew out out to see him. But to be honest, it seems that there  are so few AVN patients on these forums. With so many OA Patients and so few AVN cases, I feel a bit alone out there sometimes.

I am currently at stage II and I know that AVN carries some risks with these resurfacings. It would be easier just to take out the entire  hip and never have to worry about this crappy  AVN but a Propriception deficit from a spinal cord tumor 20 ears ago has got me thinking that a Resurf might be my best bet to maintain my Proprioceptive  mechanics and that is very important since I already have a significant Proprioception deficit on a neurological level.
