What is Hip Resurfacing?

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

There are currently two basic surgery options available for hip replacement –   Hip Resurfacing or Total Hip Replacement.

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.

It hit me today that today is my 5-year anniversary of having my left hip resurfaced with Dr. Peter Brooks at the Cleveland Clinic. It’s been a wonderful 5 years.
