6 Year Update Jack’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Clarke 2010
January 14, 2017 – I think my lack of activity in this forum could be viewed as a good thing. I don’t think about my hip resurfacing at all and haven’t in quite a few years. I have been living life as if it never happened, but of course it did. Right now I am 6 years out from the procedure and am very happy to have had it performed.
I recently have had knee troubles and have had to deal with that issue. It has brought prior experiences into my thought process. So, I was thinking about this site … Read the rest
Dr. Clarke Hip Resurfacing Stories
Susan Compton LBHR Dr. Clarke October 2007
I had hip resurfacing for my left hip in
mid October of 2007. Four days ago I ran again – not very
far of course and on a trail rather than hard concrete – for
the first time in almost 20 years and it felt great!
I am completely pleased thus far with the
outcome of my surgery. My surgeon was Dr. Michael
Clarke in Syracuse, NY. I can enthusiastically encourage
others to consider this procedure. I can now sleep
comfortably on either side, I am gaining flexibility in my
left hip that I have not had in years, and … Read the rest

I always remembered the “shoes with the bar” that I wore to bed as a kid. I had no idea why I had to wear them, what I did know is that as soon as my parents went to bed, I would untie them and take them off. I grew up remembering the shoes, but with no real health issues, I didn’t ask questions as to why I wore them. As a kid I could never sit “criss cross applesauce”, but I had agility and strength abound – so I left the shoes |

Well actually my boss who is an M.D. Had hers done by Dr. Clarke about 3 years ago and she is very happy with the outcome. It is weird because I was already his patient before I went to work for her and now find that he did hers also.
I have no reservations about him since he has been doing this for years. The hardest part for me was coming to terms that it won’t get better on it’s own. Now all that needs to be done is to … Read the rest
