Rick’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Dayton 2011
RBHR 11/11/2010
I had my first BHR on my right hip 11/11/10 at
the age of 59. I’m going in to have the left hip resurfaced
12/13/12. My physician is Dr. Micheal Dayton, University Hospital,
Denver CO. This has been a great success. I did my research ahead of
time and felt that why take out more natural bone then necessary. I
do need to be careful in Yoga classes. Since I do road bike a lot
and my work can be relatively physical, my hamstrings are tight. Too
much fun!
LBHR 12/13/2011
Everything went very well. I actually was
released a day earlier from
University Hospital than when I had my RBHR.
I am through with in home PT and am walking with
a cane. The first timearound, Dr. Dayton had a difficult time
dislocating my right femur. Due to the extra bruising, my recovery
took me a little longer. I’m extending my exercises slowly and
hoping to be walking around the gym by the end of next week.
Dr. Dayton averages one resurfacing a week. I
think there are more physicians getting into this. I still would
highly recommend Dr. Dayton. He does only hip and knees.
