    Help. Need recommendations for great OS in NYC

    Dr. Marwin does not use the anterior approach. He uses the Direct Lateral Approach. I suggested that hospital because my insurance also is not accepted at HSS but is at The Hospital for Joint Diseases. Did you try both of Marwin's numbers, Manhattan and Long Island? PM if you need a contact.

    I'm definitely prepared to wait 6 months before any high impact sports like running. I am having it done by Scott Marwin at NYU Hospital for Joint Diseases.

    Thank for the encouragement. The only time I have experienced any negativity about resurfacing has been on this site and since it is the biggest Hip Replacement site, I paid attention.

    I'm not sure what a scope resurfacing is. Was it arthroscopic surgery? Did you get an implant?
