Karen McNulty Hip Resurfacing Story with Dr. Amstutz 2006

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2015 by Patricia WalterOctober 24, 2017

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 … Read the rest

Ten Year Anniversary

I’m saying hello on the eve of my ten year anniversary. In early 1998 there were fewer than 40 resurfacings in the U.S. and of course no surfacehippy group or knowledge base. My thanks to Keith and all you posters.

My story

A former runner, I had been crippled with OA for a decade and needed crutches just to stand more than 2 minutes. Dr. Amstutz said he’d only seen one or

I thought that I would provide a quick update on my recent experience with my second resurfacing in California last week. I share some data points in the event that it may assist at least one person to make the right decision and get on with a productive life free from pain and disability.

Ivan Dekovic 14 Year Anniversary Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Amstutz 2000

I’m feeling so happy that today I reached my 14th Anniversary. I never though that I would reach that number. At the time of my surgery (I was 54 years old), I would have been pleased if my surface on surface hip replacement had lasted 5 years.

For those asking about impact sports, let me tell you that I have been playing Volleyball, Nationally … Read the rest

John G’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Amstutz 2008

June 18, 2013

I had Conserve+ Total Hip Resurfacing done on my left hip in August 2008, age 59. Wrestled through college since then played tennis, weekly soccer league plus practices/running and down hill skiing, until the osteo arthritis in the left hip stopped me. Researched the resurfacing and liked what I read about Dr. Harlan Amstutz’s work and his very deep experience. Surgery was great. Was … Read the rest

Beth Barney Dr. Amstutz September 2000

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 25, 2013 by Patricia WalterOctober 24, 2017

Two months ago, Beth put her hip to the ultimate test, participating in the Dam Sprint Triathlon at Lake Perris. The event included an 800-yard swim, a 12-mike bike ride and a 5K run

It was 10 years ago. Beth Barney had flown with her husband, Jason, from Utah for the prognosis, and they sat in the doctor’s office in Los Angeles. She felt like a defendant on trial, awaiting the verdict that would decide … Read the rest

Ted Uncemented Conserve Plus Dr. Amstutz 2010

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 25, 2013 by Patricia WalterJanuary 25, 2013

I have had both hips resurfaced by Dr. Harlan Amstutz—the left on 5/14/02 (using the hybrid Conserve Plus system) and the right on 3/4/10. On the latter, both the femoral and acetabular components were uncemented. I am only the third patient on which Dr. Amstutz has used an uncemented femoral component.

Saw Dr. Amstutz yesterday in LA. He had a whole battery of x-rays taken of both hips. He says the right one, the one … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 22, 2013 by Patricia WalterJanuary 22, 2013

I was released with my successful surgery completed on 11/20 and was home by 11/22! What a ride it has been as all of you know.

So far I’m doing all right and ruling the world from my anti-gravity lounger, no swelling and not overdoing it and my family (hubby, three girls ages, 9, 7 and 19mos.) have been amazing!

I was able to undergo the surgery in the way I felt most comfortable with … Read the rest
