Thanks Star! I am investigating various options for THP and hip resurfacing, both here in the States and abroad.
First quote I’ve gotten in $48K here in the States (N.CA) and $11K in India (includes transport to India).
Funny, they used the anterior approach overseas for year and years,but now use something different (posterior?).
I guess it should be a new thread, but anyone ever look into having medical procedures done overseas because of the cost factor?[/QUOTE]
Any news here? Overseas resurf? I’m likely to head to Birmingham for some bionic upgrades. I’m hoping that my insurance will help me out but don’t know where to start.

I had the surgery in 2008, and after half a year I was fully mobile, but not pain free. Then in 2010 I had revision surgery, because my implant has failed and was the cause of my pain. But that’s another story, and hopefully the implants on the market today are a lot safer. All in all I’m glad that I opted for this surgery and now I’m pain free and more mobile then ever.
It took me about a year to gather the confidence to get back into the saddle.
Have a fast recovery and keep us posted about your progress.[/QUOTE]
Sorry you had trouble. It would be good to hear the rest of the story, I’m going to see a doc in DC on Monday…
I clicked on that legal website, its good to see both sides of the coin. Quickly saw some misleading stats, though.
