Hi Karen
Thanks for posting and telling your story. Us gals over 60 have to stick together!!!
Many of us were good candidates for hip resurfacing too - we just have to tell the world that we are here and had sucessful hip resurfacings.
Most of the US doctors just don't even want to think about doing most women over 55 years old. The overseas doctors are willing to do many more older women. You do need a certain amount of good bone density - but it is a case by case determination. Just because you are older does not mean you can't be a candidate.
Older women should make an effort to work with the really experienced hip surgeons if they want resurfacing. Most of the inexperinced surgeons won't even consider looking at you.
Good Luck to all those 60+ ladies - we are young at heart and still have great bodies wanting to be active!
