Bill’s hip resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2006
I was a marathoner with 6 years between my last long run and hip resurfacing for protrusio acetabulum with Dr. Koen De Smet in Gent, Belgium.

Squeaking Noises After my Hip Resurfacing by Dr. De Smet
Dr. De Smet Discusses Squeaking or peeping noises during recovery after hip resurfacing surgery.

Three Year Anniversary
Yo, Hippy Kids….
Today marks three years of remarkable, painfree, unrestricted life after a resurfacing on 15Dec04. In my case, for you who are new here, I was crippled after a handball mishap in May of 1996. I had to stand, leaning on crutches, to check into the hospital, because
