I researched the BHR method extensively before I made the appointment with Dr. Schmitt. He is very easy to talk with and explains the details of the surgery completely. He uses the direct lateral approach and he will tell you the benefits of this technique…

…Dr. Schmitt will prescribe 1 week of in home therapy and another 4 weeks of outpatient. Take advantage of the therapy as it will speed up your recovery, 60 days … Read the rest

Schmitt in Commerce, Michigan. I had been diagnosed with hip dysplasia and had
been in constant pain (5-6 on a standard pain scale of 1-10) for months before
my surgery. I developed pain in my leg more than a year ago which slowly
progressed to groin pain (never occured to me that it was my hip!). What started
as a slight limp became … Read the rest

Update March 8, 2017

Hard to believe it’s been almost 9 years! My BHR is doing great!  After my surgery on May 8, 2008, my recovery went very well and I biked over 600 miles from June – September of 2008.  That might not be normal but I can tell you it was much easier to bike than it was to walk in the beginning. I used a cane for awhile because I was told … Read the rest

I’m about to do my LBHR with Dr. Philip Schmitt in metro Detroit. He’s done about 700 BHRs so far, and according to his office he’s got a great success rate – only 6 failures/revisions.

I apparently was born with femoracetabular impingement & have arthritis (10y+ at 41 y.o), and over the last year or so it’s degraded on the left side to where I can’t easily lift the leg up stairs, … Read the rest

I’m not really much of an athlete now but my need for hip

I am 46 and enjoy bowling and golf. I did not golf at all this year due to hip
pain.

Today marks 2 weeks since my Birmingham Hip Resurfacing on my left hip. The
surgery was performed by Dr. Philip Schmitt in Commerce Township, Michigan. I
