Kirk’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2009
One week post op I’m a 42 year old who had a left HR with Dr Gross on June 3, 2009. I am fairly heavyset (x Offensive lineman) and when I met with Dr Gross the day before, he responded that “I might be difficult.”. After the surgery, he told my wife that I was the hardest one he’s done this year, and instead of the operation taking an hour it took nearly 2hrs and |

I’m a 51 year old female who has been super active and fit since my teen years. I have played tennis, but had to give it up, moved on to road cycling and finally had to give that up this past summer. The only thing I could still do with minor pain … Read the rest

I just want to say thanks to everyone on this forum for the information I’ve gained by lurking these last few months while planning and scheduling surgery. First resurface is next week with Dr. Gross and other than dreading the 4500 mile trip home, I’m looking forward to recovery. I’m sure I’ll be leaning on the forum during that process, too!
Having made it to … Read the rest
Chuck Breazeale Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2010/2011
My left hip socket was smashed up badly in a 1982 car wreck when I was 21 years old. At that time, I was told that a cemented replacement was the option and because hip transplants were not expected to last but a few years that the orthos did not suggest a replacement. In fact, hip fusion would be the only option if my injured hip was painful. Seemed best to wait things out in … Read the rest

I’m just a few days shy of 4 weeks post-op (left hip resurfacing, Dr Gross) and got a great deal of encouragement from seeing such an active and supportive community here.
I’m walking independently but get frustrated because I can’t bend over enough to put my left sock & shoe on without help and start wondering if this is my new reality. It … Read the rest

I was diagnosed with severe arthritis in my right hip in July. I have had hip pain since 2008. I have been through all the conservative measures including hip arthroscopy due to a labral tear and bone spurs. That surgery was a year ago and my arthritis has advanced greatly in a year. It is now time to do something about it. I am 46 … Read the rest
Annie Bilateral Hip Resurfacing Dr. Gross 2011
I had my right hip resurfaced by Dr. Gross last week (April 20) and I am already walking with just a cane! Don’t settle for total hip replacement until you explore other options!
I had resurfacing surgery on my right hip last week, and feel like I’m doing really well – no pain meds except for the occasional Tylenol, and walking (or at least hobbling) fairly well with a cane. My problem is going to … Read the rest
Big Blue’s Hip Resurfacing Dr. Gross 2008
I live in Williamson and on Aug. 20, 2008 I had a HR done by Dr. Gross. I just had my 1yr. checkup and everything was fine. My wife was a nurse for 32 years and she said that Dr. Gross was one of the most impressive doctors she had ever met. It is amazing that you do not realize how bad you are until after the surgery and how much better you feel. Do … Read the rest
Brian ROC Bilateral hip resurfacing Dr. Gross 2010
December 13, 2010 I’m happy to report that my right hip surgery is now in the books. The staff at the hospital has been great. They are all very friendly and willing to help out with anything I need.
My surgery was at 9:00 this morning. I was Dr. Gross’s second surgery of the day. I like the idea of being second. It gives the doctor a chance to get warmed up and in the … Read the rest
Mac’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2011
March 27, 2011 I am 56 years old and I just had my HR done with Dr. Gross (March 23) and there were a couple of surprises. The first surprise was that I now have one leg (mildly) longer than the other.
The other surprise was Dr. Gross’ comment that only about half of his patients will reach a point where they will not notice the device at all. He stressed that a metal device … Read the rest

I’m now a hippie for one week. Here’s my story.
11-13 Met with Dr. Gross and Lee Web. Lee Webb said my left hip was one of the worst limitations of movement she had ever seen. 11-16 Day of surgery. The worst part by far is the anticipaction leading up to this day. We arrived at 8:00 am and went smoothly into admisson. They started an intravenous and got oxygen going. I … Read the rest
Max’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2009
April 16, 2009 I am just over 2 weeks post op from second half of Bilateral. The first week was definitely a challenge. I took the pain pills before I felt I needed them and that worked great, not much pain to deal with. I was a little unprepared for how useless my legs would be, a good deal of swelling even with the ice machine. I guess the big downside from Bilateral is not … Read the rest
