9 Year Anniversary Hernanu’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Snyder 2010

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on November 22, 2019 by Patricia WalterNovember 22, 2019

Read Hernanu’s original story here:  https://surfacehippy.info/hernan-bilateral-hip-resurfacing-dr-snyder-2010/

I figured I’d check the hips as well, for my (almost) nine year anniversary of my hip resurfacing.

The hips looked great, had blood work done for Cobalt (I guess they just track that now in that office), it came back at 1.0 with both hips.

So the progression has gone : First test – Chromium 3.4, Cobalt 3.1, After four years – Chromium 1.7, Cobalt 1.1 and now after nine years – Cobalt 1.0  Having both hips done and the bar being to stay under 7, it is very good news.

I understand that some of us have challenges after hip resurfacing surgery, all the way up to revisions, but my hopes are that all of you have happy and successful outcomes.

Thanks again to Pat for her tireless work for us and my best wishes for all hippies, new and well seasoned.…

11 Year Update for Chuck’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Gross 2008

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on August 18, 2019 by hipresurNovember 22, 2019

Read Chuck’s original story here: https://surfacehippy.info/chuck-hip-resurfacing-dr-gross-2008-biomet/

I am 11 years 2 days post op hip resurfacing today with Dr. Gross.  I received an uncemented biomet hip resurfacing replacement that Dr. Gross designed himself, at the time uncemented was fairly new but it made sense to me.  The surgery was pretty easy, I was up and walking that morning, 6 weeks post op I played 18 holes of golf with my buddies and I beat them all which they have never lived down.

If you’re in pain, don’t wait, it was one of my best decisions although I waited too long.…

16 Year Update Bev’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. De Smet 2003

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on August 18, 2019 by hipresurAugust 18, 2019

Back in the day (2002), when I was doing my research, someone who was a friend of a technical employee at the manufacturer of the BHR, said Dr. DeSmet was known to have the best hands in the business. Between my husband and I we have tested the premise four times and have followed the progress of many others…all are delighted years later. Wonderful hands and a wonderful caring man.

Also, despite taking the hard cases that others turned down (in 2003 I had necrosis, cysts and osteoporosis) his failure rate is amazingly low. Be sure that if you are not a candidate, Dr. DeSmet will tell you so; I have told friends who sent him x-rays, that if he says you are not a candidate, move on… otherwise, if you can afford it one way or another, this is what money is for! My family has 1 BHR and …

OVERVIEW

Where do I begin?

The fact you are reading this already says a lot about you –and you are Id suggest inquisitive and seeking guidance on the best option to resolve your hip issue

If there is anything I have learned over the last c 2 years –when I was diagnosed with Hip OA –is take your time (if you have that luxury –see later) ,ask questions ,and research ,research until you are as certain as you can be that you are comfortable not only with the prosthesis –but the surgeon –its like having a car break down –the spares to repair it are the same –but there are competent and not so competent mechanics .

First ReCerf Ceramic on Ceramic Hip Resurfacing Patient of Dr.De Smet in Johannesburg Rosaecres hospital South-Africa

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on August 18, 2019 by hipresurAugust 18, 2019

First ceramic on ceramic resurfacing of Dr.De Smet in Johannesburg Rosaecres hospital South-Africa

This lady walked with 2 crutches for long time before her surgery. After two weeks with all kind of disasters not related with surgery but delaying the rehabilitation, her older grandsons (seven and ten) stopped believing that she could ever abandon the crutches. To cheer them up and make them laugh, she decided to take a “funny walk” along the hallway of their house.…
