Unless its an " All on 4 " Procedure, it is ( in most cases) not as invasive as you think, and in some cases just a "Punch" incision.

Although possible, it's extremely unlikely to hit any vital vessels with proper preoperative scans and planning.

In addition, a thorough medical history is done ( or should be ) prior to any dental surgery.

Larry, do you do implants? Or do you send your patients to a specialist for that?

We have a specialist in the office who surgically places them. I restore them. For extremely difficult cases we send them out to an Oral Surgeon who will surgically place them ( if possible). I've seen and been in on many surgeries, but like anything else, unless you do them frequently, you'll never get really good or confident doing it, so I leave that up to the guy who places a bunch a day.

Imagine all the flesh cutting during that operation. If cut in different place it may have been fatal.

And an aneurysm ? I've heard of that from a copper deficiency.

I saw the incision after it was done - no thank you! She has decided not to have the other one done until she actually NEEDS it. She hasn't been able to get an x-ray for a while because her orthopedists office has slam-packed now that restrictions have been lifted.


As for the aneurysm, both the neurosurgeon and the interventional radiologist who placed the coil both said that it was most likely that she had been born with a weak spot in the vessel that was affected and that's where it burst. It took her almost 3 months to recover from the aneurysm to the point that she was able to come home, and only about 6 weeks for the recovery after the hip replacement. She still has short-term memory problems from the aneurysm.

Nowadays, minimally invasive hip surgery can been done with an incision as small as 1 1/2 inches. A friend had her second hip surgery a year or two ago. She went home (not rehab, home) two days after surgery. Needed a little help with her shopping and such, but was almost back to pre-surgery mobility after two-three weeks.

Mom had the hip replacement done in 2015 and the aneurysm in 2016.

Just for clarification, my response is for dental Implant surgery ( obviously not for hip and/ or aneurism procedures). After reading back a few posts, I see there is kind of a dual discussion going on, and wanted to make my response clear.

Didn't know you had a dental background. My eldest son, who I am living with him, and his family, is a DDS, and performs implants, and all sorts of dental procedures. He is well trained, and a perfectionist. His goal is to make the teeth look as natural as possible, right down to the multi-hued coloration of the enamel. He is very respected here in Montana, and his two practices are doing well.

Nice to know of someone on DC who is a pro. I trust your own work is outstanding as well.

Cyndi, where did your mom have her hip surgery done? I know you've brought her up here to Norfolk for other medical reasons. I had a hip replacement done two years ago with the minimally invasive technique CG described. At this practice, the incision is in the front rather than the back, so recovery is much easier. I went home the next day and after a month of physical therapy, I was good to go. Let me know if you want more information.

Back in the 70's, we had the 6 million dollar man. Where did all of that tech go; and why can't have it?

Yes, I'm living the rust years. I guess I spent too much of my youth (between 5, and 50 years) swimming in the Grewat Lakes. My cast iron coctitution wasn.t seasoned well enough, I guess.

I know, and understand. But it's still good information to have.
