Hi all, I've got my surgery on the 9th Feb but my X-rays are over a year old now. Does having new ones make a difference? does everyone get new X-rays before surgery?

    I had an X-ray as part of the preadmittance assessment primarily to measure for the prothesis

      Yes, that's it. the hospital were I had the op does this as routine for all patients. Interestingly there is a display near the entrance to the orthopaedic ward of  some of the different kinds of prothesis in use

      Hi Karen. We're both the same then lol. Mine was meant to be on the 4th of Feb but got postponed because it was an audit day. Good luck to you for the 3rd, not long to wait now. Where are you having it done?

    Hi Joanne

    My original x-ray was in May 2015 and I had another one as part of my pre-op (Oct 2015), so I would hope you will have another. 

    Best of luck - fingers (not legs) are crossed cheesygrin

      Hi Sue

      It seems that a lot of people have new ones done at pre-op, it certainly makes sense for them to do them then
