ReCerf Ceramic on Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Device Update by Dr. De Smet 2024
Dear Pat
Here is an update of the COC ReCerf resurfacing. Ceramic on Ceramic Device. https://surfacehippy.info/category/hip-resurfacing/hip-resurfacing-devices/recerf-ceramic-hip-resurfacing-device/
I have done 250 now. The study is just continuing with over 800 done worldwide.
Now we have 5 year results. They show no real problems, beside the usual difficulties we have seen with the MOM resurfacing, where placement must be precise and done by an experienced surgeon.
With kind regards,

Abstract
Background At the turn of the century, over one‑third of total hip arthroplasties comprised metal‑on‑metal bear‑
ings. As this patient population and their implants age, it is crucial to understand associated late failure modes
and expected long‑term functional outcomes. We report the long‑term results of a large metal‑on‑metal unce‑
mented total hip arthroplasty system with unique design characteristics compared to others that have been reported
with high failure rates.… Read the rest

JEL’s Jointmedica Polymotion Hip Resurfacing with Dr Bill Farrington 2023
I’ve benefited greatly from reading posts on this site over the last few years (thanks Pat) so thought I’d pass on my experience.
I had the new Jointmedica Polymotion Hip Resurfacing with Dr Bill Farrington in Auckland NZ about 4.5 months ago and it’s been a life changer. I’m at the stage now where I barely know I’ve had surgery. I’m still protecting it but have been for a few light runs (5-10min) and a … Read the rest

Who is the Perfect Hip Resurfacing Candidate by Patricia Walter
Article by Patricia Walter after attending the 2nd Annual Hip Resurfacing Course Oct. 2008 in LAUpdated 11/4/08
According to the registries and medical studies, the perfect hip resurfacing candidate is a male patient under 55 that is active, has good bone density and has a large femur neck. Of course, I am not a doctor, and am interpreting what I learned at the 2nd Annual Hip Resurfacing Course in LA on October 24 and … Read the rest
Why Do I Maintain the Surface Hippy Website?
Hip Resurfacing is very near and dear to my heart – and left hip. I believe it is a wonderful alternative to a total hip replacement, if you are a suitable candidate. People with painful hips want to begin living an active life again without pain. They don’t want restrictions to their favorite sports and activities. Hip Resurfacing offers that opportunity to return to a normal active life without the fear of dislocation and other … Read the rest

February 17, 2023
I had bilateral Polymotion hip resurfacing with Dr. Jim MacKenzie in Calgary on Nov 15, 2022. I didn’t realize it at the time, but it was the first Polymotion resurfacing in North America, and Dr. McMinn was in the operating room to observe!!
I am 48 years old, 47 at the time of surgery, and a petite female (5’ 2”, 125 lbs). I was very active up until my 40s when hip … Read the rest
Pat’s Corner – Why I Chose a Hip Resurfacing
My hip hurt, my body hurt and I needed a new hip. I had fought hip pain for almost ten years because I just did not want “half my leg bone cut off” to get a new hip replacement. It just did not make sense to me that doctors were still sawing off a big hunk of a femur bone to replace a hip. We sent men to the moon, had nuclear power and every … Read the rest
