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

Brian Flanagan’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Whately 2018

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement 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

Dr. Völker Hip Resurfacing Patient Story 2015

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

The Before and After Effects of a Hip Resurfacing Operation:

For more than 2 years I suffered severe pain in my right hip, which arose from a common arthrosis. The pain was so intense that I had to completely forget about undertaking any form of sport, which in turn made me very depressed. I had been a passionate sports person, playing tennis all my life and occasionally other sports like squash, jogging and skiing. In the end walking a short distance was a struggle, even with the assistance of a cane purchased in the hope that it would help relieve some pain. That was the end of 2014 and despite constant pain I hesitated to have an operation. The concept of me as a mid-forty … Read the rest

Mark’s Hip Resurfacing by Dr. Stachniw 2005

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

December 20, 2017

I had my left hip hip done in 2005 by Dr. Myron Stachniw in Galesburg, Il., and the left hip the following year. Aside from the occasional flare up of bursitis in my left hip, I have remained very active. My left hip is a resurf. The right hip is a large femoral ball hip replacement.

I have been baffled at all the bad press resurfs have had the past few years. My old surgeon had one person that required a revision, and that was it. And that’s been the past 12 years.… Read the rest

Gretsch’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Anseth 2017

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

I am a 47 yr old extremely active male and former D1 college hockey player. For the last 3-4 years I have been suffering for hip flexor and groin pain. I just thought is was muscle/tendinitis pain from my deadliest, squats, running and skating. I visited a Orthopedic specialist about year ago for what i thought was a sports hernia. I was informed I had OA in both hips. My two femoral heads are large and flat on one side vs bing round. Space narrowing, a few spurs, some bone on bone, etc… Right is worse than the left. It all makes sense as my whole life – specifically when i was a teen and and early twenties playing elite level hockey (signed NHL contract) … Read the rest

5 Year Update Chuck M’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Boettner 2012

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

Chuck’s Original Story Here

December 4, 2017  –  Fifth year still had some nice improvement (believe it or not).

This also marks my fifth season back playing soccer. Every season I’ve had little nags here and there (Achilles, hamstrings, calfs, etc) but the hip has been injury free. When my conditioning wanes a bit in off season I can get that “achy” feeling after an hour or so playing. But if I use the foam roller a couple of times a week it really helps with that.

My local physio got me using a kettlebell but for only one of the exercises -the basic kettlebell swing. He coached my technique and this really helped my hip function with both strength and range of motion.
Well, … Read the rest
