Pat’s Corner – Everyone Recovers At A Different Rate

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on November 17, 2021 by Patricia WalterJanuary 14, 2022
Surgery experiences and recovery rates will be different for each person having a hip resurfacing. Many of us were very fortunate to have good experiences in the hospital and have fairly quick recoveries.  I guess we are the Rabbits.

There are people that have experienced very difficult recoveries and their return to a normal life has been very slow.  I guess they are the Turtles.

Clunking Noises after my Hip Resurfacing Surgery

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on September 17, 2021 by Patricia WalterJanuary 14, 2022

The clunking noises and clicking feeling in the first 6 months after hip resurfacing surgery is a temporary decoaptation of both components.
