There are currently two basic surgery options available for hip replacement – Hip Resurfacing or Total Hip Replacement. Hip Resurfacing is bone conserving and allows a patient to return to an active life with no restrictions. Hip Resurfacing is often used for young male athletes who want to return to the sports they love.

** March 15, 2025 will be my 19 year Anniversary ** of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006.

The really experienced surgeons have done 7000 to 10,000 or more hip resurfacings – that’s a huge difference in experience levels.
Finally some good news about the ReCerf ceramic on ceramic resurfacing. MatOrtho hosted a meeting on December 13 to present the latest news on ReCerf.

In this video I will tell you about what we discussed at the
