Hi there
I'm enquiring on behalf of my mother who is due to have a knee replacement soon but has been given the opportunity of joining a research group - the hospital are doing trials on a type of joint - ROCC - which they haven't used before but which have been getting positive results in France. Mum wouldn't know which joint she will get - the current type or the new one until 1 year after her op - as they don't want to influence her opinion - she will have more xrays and i think 2 more visits than normal during the post op year. She is 68, quite overweight and more than a little apprehensive. She's a very sensible woman who would like to know more about her options before deciding what to do.
Can anyone give me any info on the ROCC joint? I have searched the internet but can't find anything.
Any assistance gratefully received.
Thanks
J
