Hello fellow hip surfacing brothers and sisters. I just wanted to check in with my story after a decade with my resurfaced hip. After a failed arthroscopic hip procedure in 2008 left me side lined from sports and limping around I finally found Dr. Edwin P. Su by way of our dear departed Vicky Marlow. He put in a BHR in my right hip in 2010 and I have been fine since. Annual blood testing and xrays looked good every year. Last blood results were: Cobalt 1.2 micorgrams/L Chromium 2.0 micrograms/L. I am now 70 years old and still surfing several times each week. I've been surfing since I was 9 years old. I would do the hip resurfacing again without hesitation. My left hip has some arthritis but it doesn't bother me now but if it ever does I know exactly what I will do.

Congrats on 10 years! I recently passed 11 years on the left BHR and scheduled right BHR with Dr Su on 11/1/19. In the last year arthritis progressed to bone on bone, severe arthritis. I'm 66 and pleased to qualify for a second hip resurfacing.
Congratulations! I'm following in your footsteps - next year is my tenth...
Great news about your readings too.
Congratulations on your 10 year anniversary. Thank You so much for sharing. The stories and anniversaries are so helpful to new members learning about hip resurfacing.
I wish you the very best and many, many more anniversaries.
