I have seen many Doctors in NY, & all say Hip Replacement is necessary. At first It was believed by one Doctor, that the Hip Recerfacing was the way to go, but I was told that there have been many problems with this procedure. I also mentioned the Anterior approach which makes sense but the same Doctor stated that there are more Dislocations, and Nerve damage from this Approach. I would like to know if he is correct or is the Anterior Hip Replacement Approach safe when in comes to Nerves and Dislocation. I furthermore would like to know if the Product from Striker is used as the Replacement Joint.

I cannot find it here. I could come to USA but would have to pay myself whereas in UK I am insured. I could afford it but not if there were any complications. My friend had it done and his own bone fractured afterwards needing further surgery, the old posterior operation and months of recovery. Regards, Mike Reeves Sirs,
