[QUOTE="DaveGrohl, post: 6684788, member: 3563"] I saw a consultant and am now booked in for the Andy Murray job at the end of winter. He's done loads of them and said I fiited the profile for that type perfectly. They don't recommend it for older people as it can weaken the elbow at the top of the femur and cause the bone to break, which is why it's indicated for slightly younger patients who have good bones. Range of movement is said to be better than standard THR. Also it gives the surgeon somewhere to go if another replacement is needed eventually as a lot less of the bone has been done away with to start with. [/QUOTE]
