According to The Big Show, who opted for a hip resurfacing over a full out replacement to preserve the possibility of returning the ring, he is faster now, has better range of motion, and has more to give in the squared circle.
“Right now, [my] quality of life is really good. There’s no stiffness. My range of motion is ridiculous.” Big Show said, “I’m not done in the ring yet. Hell, I’m 380 lbs. I feel now, especially in my hip, has more range of motion now, and I’m faster than I moved in 17 … Read the rest

I just wanted to check in and show my recent yoga photo. I’ve come so far in the past two years and most can’t believe I am a bilateral hip patient. I recently completed my 200 hour yoga teacher certification. My ROM and flexibility is really great and is getting better every day. I see constant improvement!! In this photo I am hopeful one day the hands will grasp the foot….just need a little more openness in the hips and to lengthen the psoas a bit more. So glad to have my life back!! Getting my hips … Read the rest

My surgery date with Dr. Amstutz was 8/29/06. I had been in considerable pain for four years before the surgery, but thought it was do to spinal stenosis. I saw Dr. Amstutz after Kaiser diagnosed my right hip to be bone on bone osteoarthritis and would need a replacement and of course, to wait as long as possible. I met Calvin Jung , an Amstutz bilateral through a mutual friend and the hip resurfacing seemed the way to go.
I had a great experience with the surgery. Dr. Amstutz and this was, I might add, the first time I have … Read the rest

Two weeks before my 40th birthday I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in both of my hips. The apparent cause of my arthritis was femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) coupled with almost 30 years of martial arts training. At the time I knew about the limitations of traditional hip replacements, especially for someone as young as myself, and I was devastated to say the least. The thought of never being able to train again (at least not … Read the rest

Six months following his left BHR he was back in the gym performing “clean and jerks” with good form. He has returned to Brazilian Jiujitsu at Twisted Fitness as well!

I am a kajukenbo practitioner and have learned that I need to get my hip resurfaced. At first I was all for re-leaving all this pain but after talking to the doctor and several people I have my doubts. First my doctor tells me that there will be limitations in my movement. For example, I would not be able to lift my knee past my hip or even do a high chamber for a roundhouse kick. Then I heard from someone that not all the muscles in my leg would be reattached because there was just no … Read the rest
