ilknur Yucel left a comment for connie"Hi Connie,
I had said ceramic but i'm not sure what he used. I am seeing him next week on wednesday I will find out then. But I know he said it would need to be replaced in 20 years. I am now 53 and would need it replaced when I'm…"
connie left a comment for Karen L Dunn"Hi Karen
I just found this site and therefore your name. I'm interested in the prosthesis they used. Did you have a choice? If so, why did you pick this one? Do you have any problems so far with this prosthesis? Would really like any…"
connie left a comment for Anne Marie Bourgeois"Hi Anne Marie
I just found this site and your name. Did your surgeon suggest the anterior approach? Why did you pick (or the surgeon) pick using titanium/ceramic prosthesis? I'm due to have my surgery at the end of May, and would like more…"
