Steve Arms Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Rector 2018

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on March 31, 2019 by Patricia WalterSeptember 17, 2019

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.

Back to playing Hockey after Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Pritchett.
