Hi. I was just researching online about hip pin replacement surgery, and found out that it's very complicated. My husband has pins, and is having a lot of pain walking, but after I read to him about the possibilities and complications of pin removal from the following website, he said he's not having it done. But I don't know.

(Sounds pretty bad...)
The thing that bothers me is that there are different kinds of screws, and I suppose cement being sold to doctors. There is no uniform code as to what is better from what I have read so far. Pretty bad, imho. And the surgeon that did his hip pinning does not go into detail, as I notice most, if not all, doctors, do the same thing today, as if we're dummies and we should just accept their say-so.
But anyway, the above link is interesting, if nothing else. Maybe I'll take it to the surgeon next time we speak with him and wait for him to throw me out of his office.
