Hip Replacment
Magnum Hip Replacement
Jan,15,2008 08:43
We've just
seen our 100th Magnum patient back for her 6 week
follow-up visit. So far we've been very happy with
the results. The patients say that they don't notice
any difference from their natural hip, other than it
doesn't hurt and can move much further. Have a few
more to do next week. Combining the Magnum with the
minimal incision, posterior approach has made for a
very low complication rate and no dislocations. The
large head size and metal on metal bearing are a
great combination and may result in a hip that lasts
significantly longer than the 10-20 years most
patients can expect for a hip containing
plastic.
