Peter’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2018
I am a little over a year after my left hip resurfacing with Dr. Su, I have fully returned to all pre-surgery activities. I run 2-3 miles periodically, and I free weight squat and deadlift regularly and with moderately heavy weight. I occasionally have mild soreness and every now and then will experience a “clunk,” but my hip feels totally normal most of the time and feels very durable. I have converted from worrying about a full recovery to worrying about how long it will last! I hear so many stories of the implant lasting a lifetime! Here’s hoping!

On April 11 2018 I had hip resurfacing surgery by Dr. Edwin Su at the Hospital for Special Surgery. I had waited 10 years too long.

20 Year Update Richard Kenney Hip Resurfacing with Mr. McMinn 1999
Original Post on McMinn Centre Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/TheMcMinnCentre
Best thing I have ever done! Got my left hip resurfacing with Mr McMinn in 1999 and 20 years later it’s still great. I’m an active person doing cycling, walking, swimming, gym and judo. A normal hip replacement would have probably been revised 20 years ago! Right hip resurfacing done in 2014 and perfect and still very active at nearly 67.

Steve Arms Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Rector 2018
I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr. Rector on July 24, 2018. I am from San Diego and a lifelong surfer, tennis player, and yoga enthusiast. I first started to experience severe hip pain back in 2011. By the end of 2017 I could barely walk a half mile or sit on my surfboard while waiting for a wave to catch. The pain had become impossible to tolerate for my active lifestyle.

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
