I often have people write to me personally for advice and
information. I have been researching the internet for several years to
learn about hip resurfacing. I had my hip resurfaced March 15, 2006 with
Dr. De Smet of Belgium.
I have formed many opinions along the way. They are only my
opinions from what I have read. I am not trained in any medical field,
I am a Mechanical Engineer by profession. So everything I write about is
my opinion based on information I have read.
I am starting to write articles about various subjects related
to hip resurfacing to help other people understand some of the information. It
is up to each individual to do their own research and ask many questions of a
surgeon they are considering using for hip resurfacing. Each person is
responsible for their own decision, this website or myself can not make that
decision for you. I hope much of the information available on this website
will help you find a solution to your hip problems.
