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 … Read the rest

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 … Read the rest

Mark’s Hip Resurfacing by Dr. Stachniw 2005

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surfacehippy 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

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surfacehippy 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 … Read the rest

It’s amazing what we take for granted.
