The Headlines

Fears Grow over Metal-on-Metal

The MHRA (Medicines and Health Care Regulatroy Agency) in the UK is issuing a new alert concerning metal-on-metal hip replacements which goes beyond the 2010 recall of Depuy hips.

In addition the rate of failure of Depuy hips has again been demonstrated to be far higher than first thought and figures are now confirming a possible 50% failure rate.

Although this is going to mean real pain and suffering for many hip replacement patients it is far better that they have their hip checked out now then suffer from what the MRSA has termed "systemic toxicity" or in layman's language - poisoning.

If you don't know what type of hip replacement you've had then find out - ask your surgeon and if it's metal-on-metal be sure to make an appointment to speak to him

Flexsticks

New product. Flexsticks is a revolutionary desgin in walking canes and well worth a look. Designed by a physical therapist who got fed up with seeing how poorly traditional sticks peformed the flexistick incorporates a sprin-loaded mechanism with the end of the cane splitting into three legs which are all mounted on individual springs. This has two great advantages.

1. All three legs of the stick stay on the ground as you weight bear on it.
2. The springs take a lot of the strain out of your arm, wrist and shoulder so great for anyone with arthritis or other joint problems in the upper limbs.
