GMED’s Hip Resurfacing with Mr. Treacy 2020

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on February 9, 2022 by Patricia WalterFebruary 9, 2022

April 3, 2020

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

Evant’s 8 Year Anniversary Hip Resurfacing with Mr. Treacy 2013

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on February 12, 2021 by Patricia WalterFebruary 23, 2021

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

8 Year Anniversary Mike’s THR by Mr. Treacy 2012

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

15 Year Update on James BHR with Mr. Treacy in 2004

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on January 30, 2019 by Patricia WalterFebruary 23, 2019

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
