Joe’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Plakseychuk 2015
I am just over one year removed from right hip resurfacing surgery (BHR) performed by Dr. Anton Plakseychuk at UPMC Magee in Pittsburgh, PA. I have been hesitant to report, because it has only been a year, but the results have been so dramatic, that I feel the need to let others know, that at least some of us have been able to return to an active lifestyle and in my case, perhaps better than … Read the rest

Kate’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2011
Update – Kate’s Second Hip Resurfacing 2014
I am exactly two weeks post-op on my second BHR. The first was three years ago. I knew what I was getting into the second time around, and I resolved to “go with the flow” more than I had with the first. I did everything they told me to do at the hospital. I packed interesting reading and low-carb food options. I resolved to be pleasant to my … Read the rest

Jon’s Original Story
January 25, 2013
McMinn did my hip December 2011. Terrific success so far. His web site is really helpful as well.
I’m at 13 months post-op and have been running the last few months. Generally between 3-4 miles per run, 12-15 miles per week. Wide pace range (7-9 mins per mile). I remain … Read the rest

John D’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Rector 2012
February 3, 2012
I’m sitting here in the hospital at Boulder Community Hospital, 2 days post op from my BHR resurfacing with Dr. Rector. Couldn’t believe how well it went. Dr. Rector told me he got the device inserted perfectly. Just what I wanted to hear. It’s been pretty amazing. Had a couple walks in the hospital today, went up stairs, watched the snow fall outside, etc. … Read the rest

John’s Hip Resurfacing 2008
April 25, 2013
I haven’t been back here in years but decided to check in today. I had one hip done in 06 and the other done in 07. I waited way too long to have them done. The surgery/recovery is nowhere near as bad as you think it will be. If you are in constant pain and unable to do the things you enjoy then get it done soon. You … Read the rest

June’s Hip Resurfacing Dr. Engh 2010
I had a left BHR on November 11, 2010 with Dr. Andy Engh. I was 48 (almost 49) years old at the time. I am a small boned female and I was bone on bone arthritis with AVN and several cysts, including one large one.
I just had my one year post-op appointment with my surgeon. The x-rays (taken from several different angles) looked fantastic! Everything looks good…I go … Read the rest

Jezza’s Hip Resurfacing with Mr. McMinn 2012
November 23, 2012
I had left BHR last Tuesday from Mr. McMinn and can’t believe the difference in my hip already. The story in brief is that I suffered a traumatic dislocation and acetabular fracture last august whilst playing cricket. Cue 3 operations and 3 weeks in hospital followed by 9 months on crutches. Turns out it didn’t work and I’d managed since to wear off all the … Read the rest
Jerome Arnold’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2010
Jerome’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2010
I am 50 and postponed my surgery for about 8 years. I dealt with the pain with inactivity. I stopped running and playing soccer. I reduced my aerobic activity to only an elliptical machine. My tipping point came when I realized I condition would never stabilize and I had trouble sleeping at night due to pain. Deferring surgery only would result in further loss of enjoying my life.… Read the rest

John’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2012
December 12, 2012
Today marks 14 days Post Op with Dr. Brooks. I woke up in the OR as they were finishing the glue and putting on the bandage. As they wheeled me into Recovery, Dr. Brooks came over and handed me my X-Ray and simply said, "Perfect." I love it when a Dr. says that. He was obviously proud of the surgery and placement and knew what … Read the rest
Smoke Chief Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Kusuma 2009
In the summer of 2009 I had to find a fix for the pain I experienced every time I played Senior Softball. At age 64, I was using pain killers at every game. A fellow player told me I probably needed hip surgery, but he recommended resurfacing over a total replacement. Someone advised me to visit Dr. Kusuma at Grant Hospital.
After consulting with Dr. Kusuma, I found I was a good candidate for hip … Read the rest
Donald Burtt Bilateral Hip Resurfacing 2007
I had my hips resurfaced (Birmingham) a month apart in 2007 when I was 62 due to restrictive hip movement. I had been running competitive 100 m to 800 metre distances but found I could no longer run the curves.
Two years after surgery I was back sprinting – running the 400 m and 800 m (and 200 m but only if I am in the outside lane). I was (and still am) the Queensland … Read the rest
Ed’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing by NHS 2004 and 2008
I’ve had BHRs on both hips – left 2004, right 2008. In the last weeks before both ops I was hobbling a quarter of a mile for my morning paper, having to take breathers as pain washed over me. I was on anti-inflammatories to help me sleep.
Since both ops I’ve had discomfort at times, largely when I’ve over-done things (like a fast 20 miles on an exercise bike), but nothing approaching what I was … Read the rest
Ken’s Hip Resurfacing October 2009
I just turned 50 last May, and had my right hip resurfaced in October 2009. I’ve been a runner since my teens…on and off. Ran through the pain as long as I could. Slowed down, and lessened the mileage, then had to stop. Resorted to the elliptical for the last six months or so before the surgery, just to keep from getting too out of shape.
The operation went well and I’m very happy so … Read the rest
