19 Year Anniversary of Patricia Walter’s BHR Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2006
Hip Resurfacing at Surface HippyPosted on by Patricia Walter
March 15, 2025 was the 19 year anniversary of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006
My hip resurfacing is still great and I never had problems with it. I still believe hip resurfacing is a great alternative to a total hip replacement for the right candidate – normally younger people that are very active and want no restrictions.
I started my website https://surfacehippy.info in 2005 to provide people with information about hip resurfacing. There are over 2300 articles, 1700 personal stories and 7000+ members in the Hip Talk Discussion Forum.
I work on the website as a full-time job to keep it up to date with new information and stories. I never regretted having a hip resurfacing or starting my website to help people learn about hip resurfacing.
I will continue to share new device information and person stories. There are many new and interesting devices being developed and active trials for hip resurfacing.
