5 Year Anniversary of Pete’s Hip Resurfacing

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

Read Pete’s Original Story Here: https://surfacehippy.info/pete-m-s-hip-resurfacing-2015/

5 years today November 19 with my Left BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing and 30 months with my Right THR total hip replacement.

Both are doing well, although my Right leg had a problem with thigh pain over Xmas last year. Still managed to keep climbing and cycling but had to stop running for a couple of months. Since then have gone from strength to strength – long days in the hills, long bike rides, longish runs including a 10 mile race (for the first time in 9 years, and 10 minutes slower than those heady days) and gradually getting decent fitness back. Still got all the other problems you are supposed to get at my age but the hips … Read the rest

DrNos Bilateral Hip Resurfacing 2019

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

Sep 21, 2019 Bilateral Hip Resurfacing.

This is the first two weeks of my recovery/rehab process.

The first few days were really tough. I have worked at quad and glute activation since I woke up. Walking since the first night.
The worst part of my first two weeks was the spinal head ache/reaction I had when the epidural didn’t close properly (It required a trip to the ER and a blood patch to close it). That set me back a few days.

Mostly I am amazed by how much less pain I have vs pre-operative. Currently the hardest part for me has been finding a comfortable position to sleep as I am usually a side sleeper and I have a 5.5 inch (15cm incision on … Read the rest

Left Hip resurfacing by Dot.. Alessandro Calistri ITALY – First Vovinam training after 50 days from the surgery

VOVINAM VIET VO DAO
Vietnamese martial art – Arte Marziale Vietnamita

This is the first training session after surgery where I train my legs with kicks and Vovinam techniques. Obviously it’s all a bit like starting over but knowing what to do. At the moment the real muscular and non-articular sober difficulties. The left hip works great. I feel free .. in short, new, but my muscles need a good workout, more than anything else because I could no longer stretch as I was used to, so I lost a lot of elasticity, but I will definitely get back in shape … Read the rest

Paul Mackley Hip Resurfacing 2015 back to ballooning

 

September 7, 2015

I’m new to the site and thanks for everyone’s stories, it really helps getting my head in the right place for what is ahead. I’m scheduled for a BHR with Dr Eastaugh Waring in Bristol, UK on 13th November 2015. Seems I’m in a similar situation to lots on with years of playing squash and football have left me in this situation at 46, hoping this will mean I can at least put my socks on without problems at least!

My sport of choice is probably a new one on here, I don’t run or do anything particularly extreme but what I … Read the rest

9 Year Anniversary Hernanu’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Snyder

9 Year Anniversary of My Hip Resurfacing Surgery with Dr. Snyder in 2010

Read Hernanu’s original story here:  https://surfacehippy.info/hernan-bilateral-hip-resurfacing-dr-snyder-2010/

I figured I’d check the hips as well, for my (almost) nine year anniversary of my hip resurfacing.

The hips looked great, had blood work done for Cobalt (I guess they just track that now in that office), it came back at 1.0 with both hips.

So the progression has gone : First test – Chromium 3.4, Cobalt 3.1, After four years – Chromium 1.7, Cobalt 1.1 and now after nine years – Cobalt 1.0  Having both hips done and the bar being to stay under 7, it is very good news.

I understand that some of us have challenges after hip resurfacing surgery, all the … Read the rest

Tom Dolan 12 Year Hip Resurfacing Anniversary

Tom Dolan and Hockey Team

It has been so long since I reached out to say hi and I apologize for that. Once you get your life back you tend to jump in full blast and not look back. I hung around the surface hippy site for a few years but when the notes became so negative I had to back off. It wasn’t syncing with what was going on in my life post-surgery. I just saw Dr. Rubinstein last week and I thought about you and wondered how you were doing. I am writing to do just that.

I hope all is still well with you and the family. I started playing hockey 6 months after surgery and continue to play to this day … Read the rest

Maddy’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Ure 2008

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

Wednesday July 16,2008  I had a left hip resurfacing by Dr. Ure, and am doing very well so far.  We flew into Reno and drove to Mt. Shasta.  4 hour easy drive, Susanville is the place to stop and stretch, get food, about half way to Mt. Shasta.
The drive back after surgery was NOT a problem for me, the road is good and not very winding, and it is a beautiful drive!  I was taking only Tylenol by then.

Dr. Ure is a quiet, but extremely kind man, easy to talk to!

He thought I might get a Conserve+ because my femur was too small for one size BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing, too big for the next.  He would not know for sure until … Read the rest

Brian Flanagan’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Whately 2018

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on by

March 4, 2018

I first met Dr Chris Whately more that 1 year ago. He directly mentioned that I could be a good candidate for Hip Resurfacing. He is from Canada. He took a lot of time to explain everything.

I’ve seen him last week and he explained that he is comfortable with both technics : total hip replacement or hip resurfacing. For my case, he said that I am a good candidate for hip resurfacing : male, young and in good shape.

I can’t remember the name of the device he uses (not BHR), but this is the same that Jean-Claude Vandamme has. Metal on metal and with cement on the femur part. He has used BHR device but prefers the other one, … Read the rest
