At age 67, the onset of osteoarthritis in my right hip was precipitous and debilitating. The chronic dull pain led to many sleepless nights and uncomfortable days. My wife (an internist) happened upon an article about BHR in one of her medical journals and suggested that I explore this procedure. After considerable self-study, I was convinced of the merits and advantages of BHR in lieu of the much more common THA approach. However I could … Read the rest
Just wanted to update the progress of my resurfaced hip done on August 18th. Three days ago I finished a 3000km bike ride from the very top of New Zealand to the very bottom and for the entire ride I had zero issues. In fact I’d forgot that it had even been done at all it was so good!
In November I’m off to climb Vinson, the highest mountain in Antarctica and I’m sure that … Read the rest

I had a left BHR on December 14, 2006. My surgery was performed by Dr. John Rogerson, at Meriter Hospital in Madison Wisconsin. One of the unique features of this procedure was the rehab. It is called “Hip Hab”. It’s a wonderful 5 day rehab program based on the Belguim model of recovery after hip resurfacing. I started to have trouble with my hip in November, 2000 at age 40, about 1 ½ years after |

operated side knee rotated in and I started to fall. Tried to push with the
operated leg to right myself, NO STRENGTH. I collapsed and fell back, noticing a
strange friction in the hip joint after landing on my butt.
Called my … Read the rest

I just had my right hip resurfaced by Dr. Rogerson 3/20/08. You cannot do any better than Dr. Rogerson’s surgical skills and the comprehensive program (including rehab) he has set up.

After all the hoopla, travel and what seemed like waiting longer than a full-term pregnancy, surgery is over. I am officially a Bionic Woman. I was scheduled first up at 7:30 on Valentine’s Day, what a way to get that little sparkly something. We’d scheduled a cab for 5:20, since the forecast was for snow (again) and apparently cab drivers in Wisconsin still find it to be a surprise |

I had my right hip resurfaced by Dr. Rogerson on 12/6/07 and have the left scheduled for 2/18/08. I was thoroughly satisfied with Dr. Rogerson and his team from beginning to end. Dr. Rogerson is a great surgeon and a very nice man. I immediately felt confident in his abilities after I met him. He and his PA (JoAnna) were exceptionally thorough in their explanation of the procedure and in answering my questions. The office |

This 51-year-old, male, RBHR hippy is now repaired and freed from the right hip OA that had been the monkey on my back for the past 5 years in the form of pain, limping, and decreased ROM. Being from Rochester, MN, the most common question I get is “why would you want to go over to Madison, WI, for your resurfacing surgery, when you have the Mayo clinic in your back-yard?” The answer, simply put, |
