I am my name is Maria and I am 31 years old. I had my BHR
on May 11, 2009 by Dr. Kreuzer. After 5 years of anti-inflammatory drugs,
and severe pain, I made the decision to go ahead with the procedure. I
suffered from trauma-induced arthritis from an injury that occurred when I
was 6. All my life I’ve had discomfort. But, for the last 5 years, it’s been
unbearable pain.

I am amazed at the results. I had little to no pain after surgery. The only
real discomfort was in my incision for the first week. After 3 weeks post op
I was walking on my own slowly. At 4 weeks I was on my elliptical 30 minutes
a day, and walking completely normal. I am now 6 weeks post op, and walking
upstairs normally, and doing very little running. The results of this
surgery were far better than what I expected. My leg gains flexibility and
strength naturally every day. The anterior approach was definitely the best
for me. Good luck to everyone out there. I know first hand how debilitating
it is to have pain in your hip. God bless!
