10 Month Update David Brewer’s H1 Ceramic Hip Resurfacing by Professor Cobb 2017
David’s Full Hip Resurfacing Story Available Here
Apologies for not updating for a while – absolutely NOT an indication of problems. On the contrary, I have been busy with rehab and training.
I am 10 months postop today. Surgery by Prof Cobb at Charing Cross hospital, London. Device H1 all ceramic clinical trial – NHS.
Last Sunday I raced the Triathlon England National Aquathlon championship – 750m open water swim (non-wetsuit mass start), 5k run. I was towards the back of the field (it was fast and furious) but I finished it and loved it! Extremely pleased with 22:43 for 5k run after conservative Dr Su PT schedule, similar to couch to 5k.
I have an openwater 5k swim race on Saturday then rest before cranking up training to go sub 20 for 5k next year and be competitive for my age group at Aquathlon.
Oh and yes, as you will have gathered, the hip is perfect! No pain, no squeaking, no impingement, In fact it felt awesome pushing hard in racing flats!
