Yahoo Surface Hippy Hip Resurfacing Survey 12/20/07

Survey Results      Page 1           Page 2          

"Results of resurfacing patient survey conducted on the Yahoo Surface Hippy online forum between Oct 16 - Dec 20, 2007. There were approximately 850 responses which included approximately 750 responses regarding post-op experiences. The oldest resurfacing was nearly 10 years old (April, 1998). About 65% of patients had surgeries based in the United States and 35% in other countries. Survey results should be considered "biased" because the responses are only from individuals who subscribe to the online forum Yahoo Surface Hippies and who chose to respond to the survey.  The degree of bias, however, may be very small for many questions. For questions regarding survey administration and results contact Al Taylor email: ataylor872 at yahoo.com
