Title: South UK surgeons, Robert Middleton, Jeremy Latham
Post by: gary2010 on July 30, 2010, 07:05:25 AM
Hello,

I'd like to hear from anyone who's been resurfaced by either of these British surgeons, both have been recommended to me anecdotally. I'm eager for any information on device types, revision rates, complications, surgical approach, post operative restrictions etc.

I've been referred by my G.P. to Mr Middleton in Bournemouth, who's highly regarded for THR, he also trained with McMinn 10 years ago but I've been unable to find any published data on his series or even how many resurfacings he's done. If I go with my referral to it will cost me nothing, but I may have to wait.

Since I've only got one chance at this I'm really looking for an enthusiastic advocate for the procedure, someone who wouldn't saw my leg off unless it was mandatory. Mr Latham in Southampton has done over 700, he also publishes his results.

Best Wishes, G.
