What is Hip Resurfacing?

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on October 1, 2021 by Patricia WalterJuly 7, 2022

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.

A total hip replacement, THR, has been the gold standard for many years. THR is major surgery that can result

15 Year Anniversary of BHR Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2006

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on March 15, 2021 by Patricia WalterApril 24, 2021
Today, March 15, 2021, is my 15 year anniversary of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006. My hip resurfacing is still great and I never had problems with it. I still believe hip resurfacing is a great alternative to a total hip replacement for the right candidate – normally younger people that are very active and want no restrictions. I started my website https://surfacehippy.info in 2005 to

My top BHR thoughts/comments

Thank you Pat…for all of the “surface hippy” info, stories, help, etc.  The site info is priceless.  I visited the site often, prior to my surgery.

I visited (4) surgeons…two that did only THR…and, two that did both THR and BHR.

A few reasons why I chose hip-resurfacing > I’m very active, on the bigger-side, wanted zero restrictions, my surgeon’s qualifications, and I liked … Read the rest

2 Year Update Bill’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2021

Hip Resurfacing at Surface Hippy Posted on July 11, 2023 by Patricia WalterJuly 11, 2023

I wanted to write a summary I would have liked to have found early in hip surgery investigation, and hope this helps the reader. No surgery is without risk. I’ve learned over the years that the best surgeons recommend no surgery unless absolutely necessary, and after conservative treatments are tried. Rehabilitation is still required when doing a surgery. That same effort on its own may fix your issue. I’ve personally rehabilitated multiple issues (not hip), … Read the rest
