Take the Next Step

After reading about Birmingham hip resurfacing, you may be interested to learn whether or not you are a good candidate for the procedure. Please take a moment to answer the following questions:

• Do I have a metal allergy?
• Do I have insulin dependent diabetes?
• Do I have rheumatoid arthritis that is poorly controlled or that requires prednisone medication to treat?
• Do I have lupus?
• Do I have chronic kidney failure?
• Do I have other immuno-compromising diseases such as amyloidosis?

If you answered “yes” to one or more of the above questions, you are not a good candidate for hip resurfacing.

If you answered “no” to all of the above questions, you may be a good hip resurfacing candidate.
