Becky Meier Hip Resurfacing Dr. Su 2007

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on May 27, 2014 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

On Thursday, July 12, 2007 I had my right hip resurfaced by Dr. Edwin Su at the Hospital for Special Surgery in NYC.

First, a few things that weren’t clear to me before the surgery.

I was not supposed to take any ibuprofen for 2 weeks before surgery. I was supposed to stop taking glucosamine chondroitin a few days before surgery and no iron for a few days before surgery. So check on any medication restrictions for weeks before the surgery.

I had hoped to bring my sandals to the hospital, but they said only close toed shoes (although this … Read the rest

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on May 25, 2014 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

Fri Jan 19, 2007 10:30 am

I am happy to report that as of 5:00 PM, Tuesday afternoon, January 9, 2007, I am the proud new owner of a Dr. Su installed right BHR at the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. Dr. Su sent me home on Friday morning, January 12, with the following instructions: bilateral support for three full weeks, weight as tolerated, no restrictions. On Saturday morning I took my first walk, which was as sweet a stroll as I have ever had. Each day I feel better and stronger, but because of swelling, my backside, … Read the rest

Arrojos Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2012

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on October 15, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

April 9, 2012

Hello from Arrojos hospital bed! Did indeed have it done today. Dr. Su told
me this morning, the worst that could happen due to my past week is that I’d
feel lousy. I told him I am already going to feel lousy! Lets just do it!

At 4:00 I was in a lot of pain. But now (10:00) I feel pretty good! I am even
doing leg exercises in bed (ankle pumps and heel drags). I know I know don’t
overdo it. Walking tomorrow!

Day 2: Just walked 200 feet… On crutches! Was only … Read the rest

Colby Lewis to have Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su of NY

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on August 14, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016


Read complete article by clicking here

Colby Lewis (baseball player) will undergo right hip resurfacing surgery next
week in New York. The surgery is an alternative to hip replacement surgery,
where the ball of the hip isn’t replaced…

…The procedure will be done by Dr. Ed Su, who told Lewis he should be ready
to go in six months. Lewis said Su’s patients can walk a mile seven days a week
after the surgery…

…Lewis expects to get on a mound in four months and begin normal
activities. He will be a free agent at the end of the season…… Read the rest

Dr. Bob Arnot Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2008

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on August 6, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

As a television medical correspondent for
decades on shows like Today, Dateline and the CBS evening
News and author of 12 books on consumer medicine, I have to
admit it. I have never faced a more vexing decision than
that choosing between a total hip replacement and hip
resurfacing. The claims and data appeared wildly
contradictory and each surgeon’s take was miles apart from
the others.  I called great friends in orthopedics at
the leading Harvard hospitals and in NY, Baltimore and Los
Angeles. The word I got was emphatic. Don’t do the hip
resurfacing, it’s a failed concept. It … Read the rest

Todd’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2007

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on July 26, 2013 by Patricia WalterOctober 18, 2017

I’m 52 years old and had surgery last
year, on December 13, 2007. My surgeon was Dr. Su at
Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. It was my left
hip, a BHR.

Admittedly, I was quite freaked for the three months leading
up to the surgery. I’ve always been very athletic and active
and felt pretty much indestructible. Just a year earlier, I
didn’t even know I had a problem with my hip joint. There
was virtually no pain. I thought it was just tight adductor
and hip flexor muscles from years of running, karate,
squats, plyometrics, etc.

I … Read the rest

Nancy Kupferschmidt Cementless Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2007

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on July 23, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

I am a 52 year old female and had right hip resurfacing at the Hospital for
Special Surgeries on July 6, 2007 with Dr. Edwin Su. Prior to that surgery I had
had arthroscopic surgery to my right hip in 2002 for a labral tear that I had
probably had for 30 years. I was a gymnast in college and had on and off pain
since then. After the arthroscopic surgery at the HSS I diligently worked to get
the range of motion and seemed to progress but never became pain free. I had
right foot issues and got orthotics … Read the rest

Michael Green Bilateral Dr. Su 2011

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on July 14, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

My experience with a bilateral hip resurfacing with Dr Edwin Su.

I am 52 years old and on January 3, 2011 I had surgery to repair
both hips. I have been physically active my entire life, and
exercised 3 to 4 days per week including both cardio and weight
training. I played ice hockey in college, and continued to play
competitively until age 30. I enjoyed running outdoors, and loved
riding my bike regularly. I am an avid skier, as well. All of this
came to a screeching halt with what seemed at the time to be a
simple muscle … Read the rest

JR’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Su 2010

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on July 14, 2013 by Patricia WalterJune 12, 2016

 I would like to commend Dr. Su for giving
me my life back. I’ve lived with an arthritic right hip for about 5
years until a friend of mine told me about the wonderful world of
hip resurfacing and Dr. Su in particular. I was skeptical about the
whole thing, but I decided to investigate the process. I liked what
I heard and as a result had hip resurface surgery on 7/8/2010.

After a rough first week, I started to push
myself to the point where I didn’t need crutches or even a cane
after the third week. I was … Read the rest
