Talk:Hip replacement
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I would like to have a web site considered for inclusion into this Wiki page. The link is for one of the 'Big Three' companies for hip replacement technology, innovation, and products. LINK: Biomet, Inc. - http://www.Biomet.com
Full disclosure: I work for a digital media company, and Biomet is one of our clients. I do SEO work, so it is not my job to submit this client's site to websites for links, but I've been impressed with the website on which I have been working.
If you need more information on the other two big companies, please contact me via my profile's email address (User: Natseaoper). I'm willing to help.
As a side note, my Mother works in Admissions there at the UW hospital & my Mother-in-law recently received a knee replacement -- and may eventually get a hip replacement as well. So, this is a personal thing for me. I continue to be amazed by the technology in this field.
Thank you, sincerely, for your consideration of adding this link to the Wiki page.

Ther are alot of innacuracies in the information here, maybe due to the rather poor use of the English language. If you're a laymen I would suggest treating alot of this information with a pinch of salt and getting your orthopaedic surgeon to answer any concerns you might have. I will attempt to clean up the information and reference it properly at a later date (assuming others agree) (orthopalis@yahoo.com) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 88.109.235.108 (talk) 10:34, 23 October 2007 (UTC)
For people without medical insurance, they find excellent doctors in Germany and Europe at a fraction of the cost in the US.
I know this page is not widely visited but I do think that the issues of MIS THR are possibly too arcane for wikipedia. This encyclopedia cannot address the relative merits of every MIS approach. I think in THR a discussion of the fact that MIS exists and is growing is relevent, but it seems excessive to start to talk about Direct Anterior vs Posteriolateral vs Dual Inscision. Considering the fact that these approaches are being changed daily by working surgeons with no concesis I think try to keep wikipedia up to date will not be possible. protohiro 06:38, 6 Apr 2005 (UTC)
I would like to point out that there is some confusion regarding MIS terminology. Most of the procedures are "standard surgery" done through small incision with help of clever instruments. In my opinion, the truly MIS procedure does not include cutting any muscles or tendons - and only the anterior approach fulfills such condition. [nospam.lukasc@mp.pl]

[edit] healthyjoints.com link
I think that a link should be added at the bottom of the hip replacement page to healthyjoints.com. Healthy Joints is an online support group and informational exchange for people with an interest in hip replacement and other joint problems. It would be a great resource for anyone on the hip replacement page.
Here's a link to the site: [1]

- My opinion - it doesn't pass WP:EL, the external link guidelines. The content on the site is pretty shallow. Much of it is just links to other sites like http://www2.ejbjs.org. One page is basically a bunch of links back to Wikipedia: http://www.healthyjoints.com/resources/term-glossary.php. Linking to forums is strongly advised against, and in this case there are maybe 1 or 2 posts. Really not a notable site and it seems like it gets mosts of its useful content from other sites. Plus, linking a general site on an article about a specific subject is advised against. (By the way, this link was also proposed on the Arthritis and Knee replacement pages as well. I'll post these comments there as well.) Nposs 03:21, 4 March 2007 (UTC)
I would like to add informative content to this site by adding a link to a white paper "Accuracy of digital (Filmless) Templating in Total Hip Replacement". The link is as follows http://www.ortho-cad.com/PDF/JBJS-D-05-00911.pdf The article is academic and not commercial, and in my opinion passes Wikipedia external link guidelines. Please confirm your agreement by return. AIMSzpc 06:20, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
Sorry not to be registered in En version, I contribute in Fr one ;-) I suggest you add a link to http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/rogoff33 or a similar one which gave price and number replacment in USA last years.
