I had the Birmingham Resurfacing done and it served me well for 17 years. I had to have Girdlestone Procedure done in 2022 due to infection. I would advise you to get consult with Orthopedic Surgeon who specializes in Revisions as soon as possible. I wish you all the best.....Cindy

Hello Cindy thanks for the heads up about getting in touch with a orthopedic surgeon who does revisions! I will be getting that information ASAP

Thank you Cindy, I am waiting for a ct scan in May and will see my orthopedic Surgeon hopefully soon after that. I'm just not sure if he has done Revisions before which is my worry. How did your revision go? Is it worse than the first surgery. I have osteoarthritis, I had 1 hip resurfaced since I was so young, one complete hip replacement and two shoulder replacements . I am very worried if all of those start giving me problems but for now I have to take care of this issue. It is causing to much Chromium in my blood which in return is causing my Hypoglycaemia, low blood sugar. Thank you kindly for your response.
