I have a PolyMmtion right hip and it is about 6 months old. I am so far very pleased in that I am basically back to normal and very active again – I am able to start running in July which was my main motivation for resurfacing. I know the device is newer but all devices are new at some stage.

I feel relieved I don’t have to worry about the risk of metalosis.

I wanted to share my experience at: https://www.ovsurgical.com/our-physicians/david-b-galluch-md-faaos/.   This  was my second Birmingham Hip Resurfacing in 2023.  My first was at Cleveland Clinic with Dr. Brooks in 2019.  This one went well and was back to bowhunting and showing wrestling technique in 3 months.  Dr. Galluch spent some time with Brooks.  Just thought I would share another Dr. with great results in Ohio.
