7 Year Anniversary Boomer’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Rector 2011/2012

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on by

Yesterday marked the seven year anniversary for my second hip resurfacing. I’m partially retired now. Living in Colorado allows me to do something outdoors almost every day. My recovery was very methodical, so it took me some time to regain the activities I enjoyed before OA slowed me down. I bike a lot, hike in the mountains, lift weights, have a SUP and just this year returned to skiing, which for some reason I was afraid to do in prior years. I don’t ski very well, but I do get down the mountain. My hips are fine now. I’ve taken a couple of falls off of my mountain bike that scared me, but the hips were fine.

I don’t believe that my hips limit me in any way now. That’s quite remarkable when I think back to how crippled I was prior to my surgeries.

Life is good!

Hip resurfacing surgery @ HSS by Dr. Edwin SU. The road to recovery. On April 11 2018 I had hip resurfacing surgery by Dr. Edwin Su at the Hospital for Special Surgery. I had waited 10 years too long. My PT told me that if did not get it done immediately I would risk fracturing my hip and never play sports at again. That scared the $%#* out me, and I finally got it done! Definitely one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life. With the best hospital, the best surgeon comes the best recovery!…

Read more about Captain Bill’s hip resurfacing, an excellent alternative to a total hip replacement. Hip Resurfacing is bone sparing and allows the hip and gait return to normal. A total hip replacement requires a portion of the femur bone be removed and a long rod inserted into the femur bone. A hip resurfacing reshapes the femur ball and places a metal cap over the femur. Therefore the ship size and shape remains the same.…

Today is the 5 Year Anniversary of my left Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Robert Marchand at South County Hospital in Wakefield, RI. My hip has been great. I am very active on it as well. I do a lot of cycling. I also work as a college football official in the fall and have no issues at all during the season. I do continue to do a lot of stretch, strength and stability exercises as well, and feel that plays a big role in how successful my resurfacing has been.

I had my Left Hip Resurfacing done by Dr. Robert Marchand on 4/2/14. My age was 44 at time of surgery.

I used to frequent this board quite a bit prior to my surgery and it was a great tool for me to research the procedure and build a comfort and confidence level …

By the end of 2017 I could barely walk a half mile or sit on my surfboard while waiting for a wave to catch. The pain had become impossible to tolerate for my active lifestyle.

During the summer of 2017 I visited one of the only local surgeons with experience in hip re-surfacing. He told me I was not a resurfacing candidate for several reasons that didn’t make any sense. They were not any of the reasons that I had read about on line. He did, however, say that I was an excellent hip replacement candidate.
