Right Hip Resurface Update. 61 year old fit male.

I had my right Hip resurfaced with Professor Julien Girard in Lille on 1st October 2019.

Discovered this 18 months earlier in April 2018 when I fell in snow powder and got pins and needles down my right leg next day. Had a knee scan and found it was my hip.
