This month marks 10 Years for my Birmingham hip resurfacing. Surgery performed by Dr. David Palmer at St. Croix Orthopedics. Still going strong with no issues.

November 28, 2010

I am 2 years post op as well. Last November I celebrated my one year BHR by riding the 100 mile Maah Dah Hey trail in North Dakota on my mountain bike in one day.   My hip performed flawlessly. This last summer I competed in the Breck Epic mountain bike stage race which was 240 miles and  40,000 ft. of climbing over 6 days. My hip  felt great.  My Birmingham hip actually felt stronger than my good hip. I met a person at the Breck Epic that had his hip done by Dr. … Read the rest

Taj’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2016

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on November 5, 2017 by Patricia WalterDecember 20, 2017

November 29, 2016

I have about a week before my surgery next week. I’m a 49 year old female, born with hip dysplasia. I’m an avid rower and a cyclist and I’ve had bone-on-bone arthritis for at least two years. I was able to ride and row all season, and even got in one of each over the holiday weekend, which I’m happy about.

If it weren’t for this site I’d be having a hip replacement, I’m sure. I’m most looking forward to being able to stand, walk, and sleep without pain. Oddly enough I can row hard and ride hard easier than I can just stand around. The weight bearing is a killer.

Everything went well! I ended up with general … Read the rest

Kleary’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2013

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 6, 2017 by Patricia WalterOctober 22, 2017

August 11, 2014

Had a BHR on my left hip last Sept 20. I had had arthritis from a previous hip fracture accompanied by severe IT/knee pain. Post-procedure, everything had been going extremely well–I was following the fairly conservative recovery program prescribed by my doctor (no lifting or weight training, no high impact for a year post surgery) and I felt really perfect, but all of the sudden one day a couple weeks ago, it felt like I had some kind of insect bite on my front quadricep. I kept itching it and wondering how a mosquito bit me through my jeans. Then I realized what I was feeling was a tingling sensation which eventually became a greater tingling and numbness down the front of … Read the rest

July 17, 2017

On the 7th July, 2017 , I celebrated my 3rd Anniversary of BHR Left side. Wow, how the time has disappeared and how I am able to compete “pretty well” in Triathlon, all be it , at Sprint and Standard Distance.

The hip has never been better and I attribute this to alot of patience in the re-hab,[ a fantastic  “nurse”- the wife] ,lots of precise, dedicated massage by Roger Gooch of BodySmart,  careful choices of racing and distances, plus correct footwear. As well an excellent operation by Dr Hugh Blackley, here in New Zealand.

I continue to do plenty of swimming,cycling, and some running. The Run is somewhat hindered due to a serious knee injury, … Read the rest

Just wanted to update the progress of my resurfaced hip done on August 18th. Three days ago I finished a 3000km bike ride from the very top of New Zealand to the very bottom and for the entire ride I had zero issues. In fact I’d forgot that it had even been done at all it was so good!

In November I’m off to climb Vinson, the highest mountain in Antarctica and I’m sure that will go the same way 🙂

I’ll see you guys when I manage to screw my left hip up…

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on November 18, 2015 by Patricia WalterOctober 23, 2017

November 19, 2016 UPDATE – my left hip’s second birthday!

All is still well. I suspect the scar will always feel a bit strange but the joint itself is great and gives no concern despite all the use it gets, which includes 46 5km races, one 10km race and bike rides up to 55 miles in the last 12 months. It has also been subjected to a fair amount of walking, rock climbing/bouldering and gym workouts without complaining. So far, so good!

The only things restricting activity nowadays are my remaining natural hip and old age – the right one was given a two-year lifespan by my surgeon but it seems to be no worse at the moment than two years ago so there is … Read the rest

Kani at the Villa in Belgium

The following is an account of my bilateral hip resurfacing adventure gathered
from some emails I had sent and some of which were posted on the Surface Hippy
website. I hope they will give an insight for anyone interested in traveling to
Belgium for hip resurfacing with Dr. Koen De Smet.

Arriving in Ghent

I finally made it to Ghent. I left Portland at 7:40 am Saturday and arrived in
Ghent at 8:30 am Sunday. Time to catch up on some much needed sleep. Jurgen, one
of the Cuberdon B&B owners was to pick me up at the train station but I didn’t

Steve spoke with several of our previous BHR patients before undergoing the procedure himself in October 2014. Now 10 months following his surgery, he would love to pay it forward and speak with any prospective BHR patients that have questions about the procedure or our innovative HipHab rehab process.

"It’s been 10 months since my right BHR and things couldn’t be better. I am completely without pain in my hip. I take pleasure even in the mundane things like yard work, climbing on my roof to clean out gutters, etc. I’m essentially back to all activities; summer for me is mainly cycling and golf…and I’ve squeezed in some canoe and sea kayak activity as well. I couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of the … Read the rest

Floyd Landis Article about Hip Resurfacing

January 22, 2009

Floyd Landis is coming back to cycling, and says his sport will be better for it.

Landis’ feel-good story came to halt when he was stripped of his 2006 Tour de France victory following a doping scandal and protracted fight in courts around the world. He said Thursday he feels “like a kid again” knowing that his two-year ban from cycling will end next week.

“In my mind, it’s already behind me,” Landis said in an interview with The Associated Press. “I’m not dwelling on that at all.”

Landis was barred for using synthetic testosterone in the latter stages of cycling’s showcase race three years ago. He contends the testing system is flawed, but he has no means left to fight other … Read the rest

Steve Goulet’s Hip Resurfacing Dr. Kreuzer 2008

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 18, 2014 by Patricia WalterSeptember 7, 2018

 

Greetings from Houston, Texas! On December 10, 2008 I had a Cormet Hip Resurfacing prosthesis using the direct anterior approach performed by Dr. Stefan Kreuzer.  The anterior direct approach (also known as "Smith Peteresen") is relatively rare in the U.S. as many surgeons have not yet been trained with this approach.  The reported benefits of the direct anterior approach are the avoidance of detaching the major muscle groups from bone to access the femur as the muscles are spread versus being cut or detached.  My incision is located on the front of my thigh, beginning at groin height and going down about 5 1/2  inches.  I am now close to my two years mark and am happy to report that I am doing very … Read the rest
