Donny’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks in 2018

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on February 9, 2019 by hipresurFebruary 9, 2019

March 6, 2019 One Year Anniversary

I’m happy to say that I’ve pretty much been able to forget about my hip! I had my left hip resurfaced by Dr. Brooks of the Cleveland Clinic 2/26/18. Last week was my one year follow up. X-Rays looked great, everything was where it was supposed to be…so I’ve been released to full activity. I can’t be happier with the results of the surgery. I have been completely out of pain for some time now. It’s seems crazy, but I’m still seeing improvements to my flexibility and stability in my hip one year later. Some of the most noticeable improvements to the feeling of stability have come in just the last 3 months. Living everyday life without pain has been wonderful. It’s been 3 years since I’ve played golf because of the hip pain, so I’m looking forward to resuming this summer pain free.…

7 Year Update Shelby’s Bilateral BHRs by Dr. Brooks

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on January 15, 2019 by hipresurJanuary 15, 2019

Read Shelby’s Original Story Here

Bottom Line Up Front – BHR has allowed me to have my life back.  I’m a 7 Year BHR Alumni of the BHR Club (Dr. Brooks, Cleveland Clinic) and want to give you, those who are considering or are already soldiering through the initial stages of post surgery/PT, confirmation that it is all worth the struggle.

First, as a baseline, I’m a 56 year old male, in the military, reserves now, first diagnosed with osteoarthritis in both hips when I was 40. I’m married to an awesome woman, and father to a fine son who is also a pain in the ass. My family and my service are numbers 1 and 2 of why I went forward with hip resurfacing. So glad I did.

Toughed it out as long as I could then found a cutter, but not after I heard about hip resurfacing from …

Harvey Austin’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2016

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on November 1, 2018 by hipresurNovember 1, 2018

On Sunday, June 4th, I accomplished a goal that I’ve been preparing for over a year. I successfully completed my first Tough Mudder. I have been physically, mentally and spiritually transformed in the last 12+ months. From not even being able to simply run…to now after my hip resurfacing leaping, jumping, running and climbing PAIN FREE !

Thankful to friends and family who have encouraged and applauded my hip resurfacing through it all! Your energy sustained me.

I had my right hip resurfacing in February of 2016 by Dr. Brooks and his team at the Cleveland Clinic. It was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life! It changed my life in so many ways!

I am at the gym no less than 4-5 days every week. I run, walk, jump and enjoy my life with no hip pain at all.

Bill’s 7 1/2 Year Anniversary Bilateral HR with Dr. Brooks

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on October 17, 2017 by hipresurOctober 17, 2017

December 29, 2015

7-1/2 years on left and 3 years on right and still going strong.   I cannot emphasize enough that it takes continued exercise, stretching and conditioning to keep your new (or old) hips going strong.  Add a few pounds and go through a lazy spell and I will start to limp and clunk again.

Ann B Bilateral Hip Resurfacing Dr. Brooks 2010

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on October 15, 2017 by hipresurOctober 15, 2017

April 8, 2010 – 46yr old scheduled 4/28 with Dr. Brooks in Cleveland. I will be traveling roughly 5 hours from SoCen PA. I am a nurse and cracking myself up that I have not met him but feel completely ready to GO! I feel like this is the right surgery for me and need to thank a patient I did a stress test on, who first mentioned this surgery as a possiblity and referred me to this website. And boy am I ready–this was quite a journey to get to this final month. At this point I am walking around with a butter knife offering it to anybody who is willing to cut me and fix it! Well, close to that anyway. The only concern I have would be setbacks or complications considering the distance I will be from Cleveland. I am hoping to go home to PA the

Rafael G’s Bilateral Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2006-2017

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on September 11, 2017 by hipresurSeptember 11, 2017

In July of 2006, a month before my wedding and in the first year of my thirties, I thought I pulled a muscle in my thigh. I let it drag on for about six months, continuing my usual recreational activities of golf, softball, and ice hockey. Finally in January of 2007 my wife forced me to see a doctor as my pain had progressed to significant locking in my hip, shooting pain down my leg and an all encompassing discomfort with all activities and sleep.

This is when I learned, at age 31, I had no cartilage in my right hip and was down to bone on bone. It was a shocking finding to me and my doctor. I had no prior history of hip problems and had been physically active my whole life. I played competitive ice hockey through college and continued to play on men’s league teams thereafter. …

Kleary’s Hip Resurfacing with Dr. Brooks 2013

Hip Resurfacing News Posted on September 7, 2017 by hipresurSeptember 7, 2017

August 11, 2014

Had a BHR on my left hip last Sept 20. I had had arthritis from a previous hip fracture accompanied by severe IT/knee pain. Post-procedure, everything had been going extremely well–I was following the fairly conservative recovery program prescribed by my doctor (no lifting or weight training, no high impact for a year post surgery) and I felt really perfect, but all of the sudden one day a couple weeks ago, it felt like I had some kind of insect bite on my front quadricep. I kept itching it and wondering how a mosquito bit me through my jeans. Then I realized what I was feeling was a tingling sensation which eventually became a greater tingling and numbness down the front of my thigh. And then I noticed that the area around my incision was kind of tender and I have some sensitivity in my buttock area. …
