spare parts needed urgently
I'm going off to have a new ball joint and socket put in my shoulder soon, the one they put in nine years ago has decintergrated into little bits and worn most of the bone away, so I will need a bone graft as well. I don't think I have any spare parts around for this problem, does anyone have or know of any spare parts for this.
I've decided I'm going to give Kathy and Emma hell to make up for what I can't do for the next few months. Max

Spares
Hi Max
I think with some careful cleaning and a dab of weld here and there a 6" rzeppa joint should suffice. At least you'd have good articulation although you may develop a slight lean in that direction. Last time they probably put a 4 7/8" one into you so no wonder it wore out. Can we call you the bionic man after this? We already know within your chest beats a sidevalve V8.  Quote:

How about selective injections of epoxy resin and silicone (for lubrication)? You could bind it all together with suitably-thickened Vegemite...

Max I have a few spare body parts that Jo removed from me a couple of years ago... Not too sure if they are the balls that you seek, however.

thankyou for everyones advice, thought about this but I guess I have no choice but to take Roberts advice and go for the new parts. I guess Kathy might let you know how it goes in the next few days or I might be home before the weekend.
