Soy paciente de 62 años y me hizo una artroscopia de cadera que no me ha salido bien. Mi error fue no pedir una segunda opinion. Despues acudi a otro médico de gran prestigio, me dijo q hacia 10 años que en mi circunstancia no se hacia artroscopia. Tengo a hacerme ahora la protesis despues de 6 meses de sufrir.
