Title: No Small Devices in USA
Post by: cmc on March 26, 2026, 04:39:02 PM
Eight years ago, I had my left hip resurfaced and it's been a terrific success. Now my right hip has become problematic, so I went to see if I could have it resurfaced.

Ugh. Just got back from seeing Dr. Brooks (who is awesome) and found out the smaller size devices are no longer being made! At least not the ones FDA-approved in the US. So my only options are to find a clinical trial or go abroad. Or have a total hip replacement. So sad.
