Wally Green Published on Apr 16, 2019
Hip resurfacing surgery @ HSS by Dr. Edwin SU. The road to recovery. On April 11 2018 I had hip resurfacing surgery by Dr. Edwin Su at the Hospital for Special Surgery. I had waited 10 years too long. My PT told me that if did not get it done immediately I would risk fracturing my hip and never play sports at again. That scared the $%#* out me, and I finally got it done! Definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. With the best hospital, the best surgeon comes the best recovery!… Read the rest

Christina’s 2 Year Update for Hip Resurfacing with Dr Su 2016 at age 27

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

I just thought I’d share with everyone that I am 2-years out from my hip-resurfacing with Dr. Su and I am still thrilled with the results. I am an athletic woman of average height and build. I was 27 years old at the time of surgery.

My journey since operation: I spent a very long time trying to get my strength back, which was lost not during the surgery, but during the injury. Limping around, having issues with stairs, and putting all pressure into my quads caused a lot of muscle loss in my hamstrings and glutes. It took me a long time to re-learn how to activate my posterior chain. I have been consistently strength-training 3x a week for a year now and I … Read the rest

Big Show’s Original Story Here

According to The Big Show, who opted for a hip resurfacing over a full out replacement to preserve the possibility of returning the ring, he is faster now, has better range of motion, and has more to give in the squared circle.

“Right now, [my] quality of life is really good. There’s no stiffness. My range of motion is ridiculous.” Big Show said, “I’m not done in the ring yet. Hell, I’m 380 lbs. I feel now, especially in my hip, has more range of motion now, and I’m faster than I moved in 17 [or] 18 years. I wrestled with Fit Finlay a little bit at WrestleMania. I got in there and rolled around the ring with Fit and … Read the rest

Published on Dec 17, 2017 – BHR The Past and the Future of Hip Resurfacing

Dr Edwin Su takes a look at the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) System’s 20 year history and outcome data from implant survival rates to opportunities for patients. In his closing slide Dr Su states that hip resurfacing can have advantages of THR including bone preservation, greater stability and a high activity level. He also says that hip resurfacing is alive and well for selected patients. There may only be a few surgeons performing hip resurfacing, but those who have experience with it are still strong advocates.

Just had bilateral resurfacing with Dr. Su. I too was forced out of the butterfly after about 40 years playing, and became more of a Phil Esposito. I went in for surgery on a Thursday came out Saturday and was hobbling around my house on Sunday without my crutches. I’m 50 and the Same basic size as you. You should consider bilateral. I will post as I get deeper into the recovery and hit some milestones, for now totally pumped with where I am 3 days after surgery.

Khynes Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2013

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

I had my hip resurfacing surgery with Dr. Su on May 17th at HSS in New York. Its going on 10 weeks post op and everything is going great. Dr. Su is truly a great surgeon and the Hospital for Special Surgery was fantastic.
I had surgery on Friday and went to my first PT session at HSS on Monday. I really recommend the Joint Mobility center at HSS for your first PT sessions as they really know what they are doing. When I got back home and started PT I really felt that they didn’t have any experience with hip resurfacing and spent too much time working on strengthening vs a balanced approach with lots of stretching. For me getting flexible has geen the … Read the rest

January 8, 2017 – In June, 2015, about three years after my HR, I did a tandem jump.  It was my first skydiving experience ever.  I didn’t even think twice about my hip for this.  After running a marathon, skiing, playing ice hockey, long jumping, and sprinting it didn’t even occur to me that there’s be anything special to worry about for this.

I currently have pain in only my left so that is the one i am seeking a surgeon for.  I am 52 years old and very active and fit. I would like to do the hip resurfacing and thought I was going to book my date with the dr I visited today. he is highly regarded and has done thousands of replacements but only hundreds of resurfacing. he does everything through the anterior approach.
I just watched a video by Dr Su at HSS who said he does all his resurfacing through the side or back. I also read a disappointing post from a women … Read the rest

Surfacehippy | Hip Resurfacing Alternative to Total Hip Replacement Posted on by

January 2, 2017 – Just wanted to share an update. I am a bilateral resurfacing with Dr Su. I am a year and 10 days out and climbed(hiked) Mt Greylock in Massachusetts on 12/31/16. Deep snow which required some post hole-in. Tired and sore(except the hips) handled it much better then the other fifty year olds did.

August 31, 2010

I’m now seven weeks post-op and feel great. Last week my surgeon, Dr. Su, said that my recovery was “off the charts”. I’m going to the gym and doing whatever I can to get back to the way I was 5 years ago before OA hit. I really think that state of mind plays a big role in this recovery. If you want and need to get back to normal, you have to think positive and just do everything you can to achieve that goal.

I had my right hip done in the beginning of July and as of now (11/9/10), I’d say that I’m about 98% back to normal. I couldn’t have done this without PT. It’s a
