Title: Hip Resurfacing – A Patient’s Perspective on Long-Term Success
Post by: Pat Walter on February 09, 2025, 09:30:56 AM
Article by Patricia Walter about Hip Resurfacing- ** March 15, 2025 will be my 19 year Anniversary ** of receiving my BHR Birmingham Hip Resurfacing from Dr. De Smet in Belgium in 2006. During these years, I’ve carefully tracked hip resurfacing outcomes and patient experiences. What I find most encouraging is that 73% of hip resurfacing patients can run within 5 years (https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC3549167/) after surgery, while only 32% of traditional hip replacement patients achieve this milestone.   Read More Here:  https://surfacehippy.info/hip-resurfacing-a-patients-perspecctive-on-long-term-success/ (https://surfacehippy.info/hip-resurfacing-a-patients-perspecctive-on-long-term-success/)

Which studies are the 73% and 32% based on? The one linked does not mention this.
