Darcey Bussell’s Hip Resurfacing 2014
This week, ‘Strictly Come Dancing’ judge Darcey Bussell talked to MailOnline about her Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) surgery in 2014. Though not one of Mr McMinn’s patients, Darcey is a prime example of how BHR surgery is ideal for younger people suffering with hip pain wanting to resume an active lifestyle.
She said: “I had the resurfacing because I was too young to have a replacement. A lot of retired ballerinas have [hip replacements] but they usually wait until they are in their 60s, not 40s”
Similarly, ballet dancer turned coach Maina Gielgud had a BHR with Mr McMinn back in 1999. She said: “From that first day to this I have not had one moment of pain!”
