Hi Wendy

Thanks vey much for your reply.

They have considered getting another hip put in but have not done so as yet. The girdlestone op was done around 4 years ago now and Dad has deteriorated substantially since then. His deterioration caused by both Parkinson's and Chronic Pain affecting his mobility so it is unlikely he will go for further surgery now.

Thanks for the tip of using Pubmed, I will have a look at it today and search around to see what I can find.

Thanks again.

Ettie
