Talk:Hip resurfacing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Thsi article seems to contain biased content, or is slanted as an advertisement for the procedure described thereon 68.98.69.91 00:05, 12 September 2007 (UTC)

I am concerned about the content below in quotes. Some of this is Off Label and could give potential patients unrealistic expectations. I am recommending that we remove it. Does anyone have an objection?

"There are many athletes with resurfaced hips that continue to compete at the professional level in a myriad of activities. They include: • Cory Foulk finished a marathon three months after his surgery, finished 11th in the Ultraman world championship eleven months later[5] • Jim Roxburgh continues to participate in the martial arts after having both hips resurfaced in 2004[6] • Ian MacLaren of the Torashin Karate Club is believed to be the first 5th dan Karate-ka in the world to have had both hips resurfaced • Floyd Landis, 2006 Tour de France Winner[7]"

Warning Statement taken from the Cormet and BHR IFU:

Caution the patient to protect the joint replacement from unreasonable stresses and to follow the treating physician’s instructions. In particular, warn the patient to strictly avoid high impact activities such as running and jumping during the first post-operative year while the bone is healing.
