I’ve waited until now because I didn’t want to jump the gun. I’m very aware that things can go wrong. I’m over the moon with my new Hip resurfacing. All the information on this web site about searching for a good Surgeon to rehab have been a god send. I have nothing to add about rehab apart from echoing the point “don’t rush things”. Walking 1 mile a day is all you … Read the rest
Very happy to reach my 8th anniversary.
8 years ago, on the day before the operation, I remember feeling like a broken 50 year old man – quite unable to walk from the hospital entrance to my hospital room without using the corridor hand rail to support me.
Thanks to the incredible brilliance of my surgeon Ronan Treacy I feel very lucky that he was able to fix me.
I really enjoy my cycling, my … Read the rest

5 years for me today I had a right hand side BHR with Dr Ronan Treacy.
General life, I don’t even think about the hip. Haven’t for a long time. I sometimes notice the smaller Range of Movement on that side when doing things like Yoga, Pilates, Circuits etc sessions but one of the benefits of the Covid situation is my Fiancée working from home and these are her main … Read the rest
Note by Patricia Walter – unfortunately,not everyone can have a hip resurfacing, but life can still be active and pain free with a large ball, ceramic THR like Mike received.
Just stopping by to say I passed the 8 year mark a few weeks back.
I couldn’t have HR due to previous problems as a teenager ( slipped femoral epiphysis) This was pinned but I was left with a slight twist on the femoral head … Read the rest

Recently celebrated my 4 year anniversary for my right side BHR with Dr Treacy. I held off till today to post as this morning I had entered my biggest race to date, the Ballbuster Duathlon which consists of 5 x 8 mile loops, 1 run/3 bike/1 run with the last 2 miles of each loop uphill. But the weather was awful and the race was … Read the rest
I had my BHR – Birmingham Hip Resurfacing at the age of 15 due to perthes disease. It has been absolutely fantastic since I have had it. Mr Treacy was my surgeon. I think this year will be a milestone, I will have lived longer with a BHR in my right hip than a normal one!
I have always been active, going to the gym, hiking, cycling (long distances), swimming.… Read the rest
UPDATE April 7, 2018
I’ve not been on the site for a while as I had my hip resurfacing in Birmingham (UK) in 2014 with Mr. Treacy and haven’t had a problem since. I’ve returned quickly to endurance cycling, yoga, walking and all activities. i have slight restrictions in yoga but hardly noticeable.

I had been consulting my surgeon Mr. Ronan Treacy for about 7 years as my hip was gradually deteriorating which made it difficult for me to enjoy an active life. I am an accomplished ski-er and I also play tennis every week. It was becoming increasingly … Read the rest

October 26, 2016 – Tomorrow will be my 1 year anniversary of my right BHR with Ronan Treacy
Overall, I couldn’t be happier with the decision to have this procedure. I only discovered this site after the op and had some good fortune to arrive in Ronan’s hands but mostly this was due to the hard work, patience and support of my wonderful partner.
Every day life, I … Read the rest

Some 20 years ago I was diagnosed with early osteoarthritis and told to calm down my sporting activities and expect a replacement at some point in the future.Needless to say I … Read the rest

The operation was not routein however. It took Mr Treacy 45 mins and there were some complications. I bled an awful lot in theatre and think there was a lot of Spurs and osteophyte as well as my dysplasic socket.
I had to be kept in recovery for about 3 hours as there was no bed space … Read the rest
