5 Year Update Chuck M’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Boettner 2012

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. I am out of shape (for 95 degree singles tennis), and still feel not as flexible or as strong, but have had no pain even after 2 hours of drills and playing.

Hip Resurfacing Information at Surfacehippy Posted on by

I used Dr. Rector in Boulder. I feel the BHR surgery which occurred on April 22, 2010 gave me a
2nd chance at an athletic life. It used to take me 30 or more
seconds to stand up out of a chair. Since my surgery I have been
using the stationary bike for about 1/2 hour and working out on the
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

Dr. Barry Tannen (bilateral HR 12/18/08)

I am a 52 year old physician who had bilateral hip resurfacing with Dr. Su on

of daily living such as tying shoelaces, etc.

I had bilateral surgery in January of 08 – I found this web site around 6 months prior to that time and had the same reaction, what a godsend.

After recovering from an arthroscopic surgery to my right hip in May of 07 and I had one on my left in March of 07, I was desperate as I was not getting any better.

Both of my hips were bad and now I have no pain, just a desire to keep getting stronger. I am playing in a 45 and older … Read the rest
