14 Year Anniversary Patricia Walter’s Hip Resurfacing by Dr. De Smet 2006

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on March 16, 2020 by Patricia WalterMarch 16, 2020

March 15 is my 14 year anniversary of my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing by Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006.

Patricia Walter and Dr. De Smet in Belgium 2006

I made a decision to have a hip resurfacing with Dr. De  Smet in Belgium in 2006.  I talked with many of his previous patients on several discussion groups. His patients were very supportive and helpful in making my decision.  I did not have health insurance at the time and did not want a total hip replacement at age 61.  I was active and wanted to remain active. Local surgeons only offered me old fashioned THRs which would drastically restrict my activities.

Dr.  De Smet was available via email for discussion and to answer questions, as he still is today.  US doctors do not

17 Year Update for Jeffrey Mark Dullum’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2003

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 31, 2020 by Patricia WalterJanuary 31, 2020

17 Year Anniversary of my hip resurfacing with Dr. De Smet in 2003 in Belgium.

Today I celebrate! On this day 17 years ago, I was in a hospital in Ghent, Belgium receiving two brand new chromium cobalt (metal) hips.

At the time, I could barely walk and was hunched over in pain (see pic 2: the day before surgery in Ghent) I could not stand up straight.

In the 10 years prior, US doctors did their best and persuaded me to have traditional hip replacements. However, I would not be able to ever run again and the traditional hip replacements would only last approximately ten years. I was young, so I refused and waited for a miracle. I wanted to run again.

Then in … Read the rest

16 Year Update Bev’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2003

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on July 15, 2019 by Patricia WalterNovember 18, 2019

Back in the day (2002), when I was doing my research, someone who was a friend of a technical employee at the manufacturer of the BHR, said Dr. DeSmet was known to have the best hands in the business. Between my husband and I we have tested the premise four times and have followed the progress of many others…all are delighted years later. Wonderful hands and a wonderful caring man.

Also, despite taking the hard cases that others turned down (in 2003 I had necrosis, cysts and osteoporosis) his failure rate is amazingly low. Be sure that if you are not a candidate, Dr. DeSmet will tell you so; I have told friends who sent him x-rays, that if he says you are not a … Read the rest
