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

I had my hip resurfacing done Tuesday at Cleveland Clinic Lutheran Hospital by Dr John McLaughlin. Surgery went smoothly. Home Wednesday. Feeling pretty good but tired. Note I’m a 65 year old male. Still active, and able to do HIIT (with modifications) and running (with walk breaks) before surgery. But my hip impingement let to discomfort sleeping at night, difficulty getting out of car, limp at times when walking. I pushed for
I am writing to say that I would also like to share my story. I am a female, double BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Device with Dr. Brooks at Cleveland Clinic. I had 5 year and 10 year post-surgical follow ups/x-rays at Cleveland Clinic (surgeries were 11/2013 and 03/2014). I had blood work at the 10 year mark as part of the follow up. As I’m writing to you today, all is perfect.

The ReCerf® Hip Resurfacing device has been extensively
laboratory tested where the device was subjected to loads far in
excess of those expected in a patient’s own body such as falls
(stumbling) and traumatic events such as head-on car crash to
evaluate its performance limitations. Mechanical testing and state
of-art finite element analysis (computer modeling) investigated all
aspects of performance

Booked in for bilateral CoC on 5 March in Brisbane with Dr Weinrauch. Feeling a little apprehensive about getting both hips done at once but surgeon said lefty is also too far gone for arthroscopy to be beneficial. So my choices were either keep getting steroid injections or do the surgery which didn’t seem like much of a choice really.

** March 15, 2025 will be my 19 year Anniversary ** of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006. During these years, I’ve carefully tracked hip resurfacing outcomes and patient experiences. What I find most encouraging is that 73% of hip resurfacing patients can run within 5 years after surgery, while only 32% of traditional hip replacement patients achieve this milestone.
Many patients don’t know there are two main choices when looking at hip surgery – Hip Resurfacing and Total Hip Replacement (THR). I’ve spent years studying both procedures and helping patients understand their options through the Surface Hippy website.
Hip resurfacing saves most of your natural bone. The surgeon only removes the damaged surface of your femoral head (the ball of your hip) and covers it with a metal cap. THR takes a different approach … Read the rest
Finally some good news about the ReCerf ceramic on ceramic resurfacing. MatOrtho hosted a meeting on December 13 to present the latest news on ReCerf. It now has approval for use in Australia, and we were told that the UK should get it in May. The results up to 6 years in over 1200 patients are excellent with a 1.4% failure rate. In this video I will tell you about what we discussed at the
