Who is the best sugeon for fitting Ceramic Hip replacment?
Posted , 18 users are following.
I am seeking a surgeon who regularly fits Ceramic hips in to plastic or possibly ceramic cups and is GOOD!
I have an on-going nightmare with incompetant surgeons who do not believe I am allergic to nickel ( present in most metal hips such as the Exeter 316 style hip) and was delighted to discover a surgeon in Wiltshire who does fit these. I was then strongly warned by 2 people not to go to this man as most of his patients are wrecks when he has finished with them.
Frustrated? Moi?! Can anyone advise me?
I gather there is a Mr Latham in Southampton who is excellent but he is not even seeing anyone until Christmas 2014 and no time to operate on any new patients until JULY3015!
I cant even find out if he does Ceramic hips but i know he does fit Titanium Hips which i would be OK with.

I am speaking to people who talk about walking on crutches for 3-5 days post surgery and then being without crutches after a week or so.
Maybe a short pin means longer on crutches? I find it so confusing to choose the right person for me!
