Hi,
before my op I was asked to fill in a questionnaire about my hip and how it affected my day to day life. Now post op I have received a similiar questionnaire to complete. Found it interesting, especially when I reflected on what my answers would have been pre-op. Would like to see over stats of their findings.

I have had OA since mid twenties. It affects my hips and knees. I had a THR on the left aged 30 and now have a resurface-replacement on the right - done May 2010.

I hope S was in it. Is there really a joints registry? Dunno why I'm staggered, but I am. Blimey. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

Oh yep there sure is All mine are "numbered" and I've got the tickets to prove it
The other thing you do when you have joints replaced is to consent (or not) to them having the bone they remove to help other peeps. "Live Bone Donor" (Er, it's the bone that's still live as well as the donor!!) and they give you tickets for that too in accordance with the Human Tissue Act 2004. I thinks it's brill if the bits that are of no use to me can help others0 -
I am not entirely sure if I would want bone removed from an arthritis sufferer given to me. :shock: I take it you mean that healthy bits are used, not the disease-riddled manky bits. DDHave you got the despatches? No, I always walk like this. Eddie Braben0

They can grow healthy stem cells from it DD, doesn't matter how manky, prima facie, it would seem to us From that they can, as one example, help peeps who have osteomyelitis
Learnt all about it from my DIL who's got a PHD in human biology. She's a great reference book for me when I don't know my a*** from my elbow0 -
Hi Speedy
What an interesting thread, I have learnt something today. Thanks too Cherry, nice to know me manky bone might be useful when I eventually am persuaded to give it up. :roll:
take care
