DAC VAN’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Pritchett 2022

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on February 1, 2023 by Patricia WalterFebruary 1, 2023

January 3, 2023

I wanted to wait until six months or so post–op before posting on this excellent website: I will post in this section, as well as the rehab section: please forgive any redundancies.

Background: 53-year-old male, in decent shape with no other health issues, avid marathon and trail ultra-runner. Osteoarthritis necessitated the operation: I first started feeling it around January 2021, with increasing pain and restricted movement during long runs. As Hemingway said … Read the rest

I had hip resurfacing in Nov 2021. After I was cleared to run in February, I ran almost 4 miles from the doctor’s office (anything worth doing is worth overdoing, right?). I took a bus the rest of the way home and my hip hurt for days. A month later I was at 10 miles, and my hip hurt for days. Kept at it through the summer. Ran a half marathon in September – like

John Woolslayer Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Pritchett 2022

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on October 23, 2022 by Patricia WalterDecember 11, 2022

John Woolslayer age 54.

About a year and 1/2 ago my right hip started hurting and I was losing mobility. Pretty quickly this hip pain kept me from being able to go running. For work outs I had to swim and ride a bike. I also was still able to use a stair master, elliptical trainer and treadmill. While I could do these exercises, I could not run or jump at all and my posture … Read the rest

Every year since 2008 I’ve meant to post a “yea, another year with my hip” First time I’ve actually remembered. Anyway, hip was resurfaced Sept 22, 2008 by Dr Pritchett in Seattle. Have not had one iota of a problem since. And want to thank this Pat and this site, it was so much help in finding a surgeon and easing fears before surgery. All the success stories were invaluable.

Prologue, or why I don’t shop at Southcenter
February 25, 2012 was my last pain free day. I had no idea when the day started that it would end with an injury that sent me on a downward spiral that I have only now arrested.

Dr. Buechel and Dr. Pritchett Discuss Hip Resurfacing 2018

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on August 8, 2018 by Patricia WalterAugust 16, 2019

Surgeons prefer Hip Resurfacing rather than THR for their own hip replacement. Published on Aug 7, 2018

Hip Resurfacing is difficult. It requires a higher degree of surgical precision, art and talent. Hip resurfacing produces a higher level of functional outcome. Most surgeons do not offer hip resurfacing but they when it is their hip that needs surgery they are more open to the procedure. Polyethylene should be used. Two experienced surgeons discusses hip resurfacing … Read the rest

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

I was 48 when I received the very surprising diagnosis of arthritis in my left hip. My pain wasn’t that bad at the time so I really didn’t think it was as bad as they said. The first words I heard after my initial X-Ray were “You need a Total Hip Replacement! I was stunned. I thought I had a strained tendon or a torn … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on October 15, 2017 by Patricia WalterOctober 18, 2017

March 16, 2017

I am a 61 y.o. woman with “bone on bone” osteoarthritis of my left hip and a chronically low white blood cell count. My recent research indicates that metal-on-metal resurfacing (like with BHR and Biomet devices) poses additional risks for folks with autoimmune disorders like me. So, I am considering meeting with Dr. Pritchett to discuss the suitability of the Synovo ceramic coated device.

April 29, 2017

I have had a bad left hip for almost four years now. I went in for knee pain, and low and behold, I was told it was my hip causing the knee pain. I used to play lacrosse and basketball and run. That all ended about 4 years ago. I was still able to do the treadmill till my right hip started to go as well.

Don’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Pritchett 2006

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on March 8, 2017 by Patricia WalterAugust 8, 2017

My name is Don Kirk and I live in Fairbanks, Alaska. Last fall I discovered that my right hip would need replacing. I had received an injury to this leg when 5 years old and the doctors used a 4″ long plate to rejoin my femur. After 55 years this plate was overgrown with bone. My local doctor was hot to give me a THR but didn’t want to deal with removing the prior implant … Read the rest
