Chuck’s Original Story Here

December 4, 2017  –  Fifth year still had some nice improvement (believe it or not).

This also marks my fifth season back playing soccer. Every season I’ve had little nags here and there (Achilles, hamstrings, calfs, etc) but the hip has been injury free. When my conditioning wanes a bit in off season I can get that “achy” feeling after an hour or so playing. But if I use the foam roller a couple of times a week it really helps with that.

My local physio got me using a kettlebell but for only one of … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surfacehippy Posted on by

I have been cleared for all activity without restrictions. I am now playing singles tennis without holding back.

elliptical for about 20 mins. 2X per week and balancing on the bosu
ball for a few minutes on each leg during my workouts.

At 10 months out from my surgery I began playing soccer again. I am

Ten Year Anniversary

I’m saying hello on the eve of my ten year anniversary. In early 1998 there were fewer than 40 resurfacings in the U.S. and of course no surfacehippy group or knowledge base. My thanks to Keith and all you posters.

My story

A former runner, I had been crippled with OA for a decade and needed crutches just to stand more than 2 minutes. Dr. Amstutz said he’d only seen one or two more diseased hips in his career. I placed a lot of trust in him and it sure paid off. I was riding the life

of daily living such as tying shoelaces, etc.
