Dr. Su resurfaced my left hip with impeccable precision and amazing empathy. Prior to discovering that i had an option instead of Total Hip Replacement, i was resigned to go ahead with a surgeon who advocated doing the "more conventional route". Once i did further research, i discovered that i could keep more of my bone structure without compromising anything related to recovery, lifestyle, sports, etc. I am truly grateful for all the time and detailed attention Dr. Su personally provided. People say that this procedure was "Life Changing", I would say that because of it my "Life is enabled" given so many more options for me to live "JOYFULLY" & pain free!
I had my left hip resurfaced 14 years ago. It was great while it lasted but now It has failed and am having a 'Revision' done ( a clean out the implants and to replace with a THR. I am 79 years old. However, given the choice again, I would have the same again. BUT, they do not offer the Resurfaced hip for the over 70's.
Professor Dominic Meek in Glasgow resurfaced my right hip almost 2 years' ago and just last week I ran 65 miles and normally run 55 miles per week! I am 64 years' old and cannot believe the difference it has made to my life as a long distance runner!
I had BHR on my left side in 2013 and on my right side last year. Truly life changing. I am very grateful to Derek McMinn, Smith and Nephew, and my two Florida based surgeons. I have been very fortunate to have trained under some of the very best martial arts grandmasters in the world and thanks to BHR, I can once again train.
im 10 years in to resurfacing and still going great, how is yours? I need my other hip doing now...they are suggesting another resurfacing....im unsure due to the amount of metal.
Hi Jeff, hey everybody! I had my first resurfacing in 2017 by Prof. Winter in Friedrichshafen/ Germany (He ist probably Germans "first BHR- adress"). I'm 57 years old an doing my sports-job profession mostly every day (Core-fitness-training and Badminton). Before the surgery I was running a lot; many marathons (up to 12 a year). Now since about one year I#m running again ;-) Up to 5 times a week about 10 to 15 km. Next wednesday my second surgery (other side) is planed. The last days - what ever the reason is - I think SO MUCH about the right moment of surgery, metal-abrasion and, and, and... Shit! Suddenly I think about all what could be... How is your situation? Who is running? What experience?
I 'm zo happy People like you give me zo much power to don' 't give UP... I went in 2015 to Koen de smet ( i 'm from Holland i was a high level Taekwondo practitioner) i have serious hip damage, in Holland they don 't do hip resurfacing anymore. So i start to colect and saving money for the surgery. It was extremely hard to me to find a better job, working overtime,to fight ever dag against pain, dismobility and depression, and to fight against the People in Holland do not believe in resurfacing, fighting against meself. And finely after 5 years working hard, now almost having the money.... But still i 'm very afraid i' v never been surgery befor i 'm now 47 age... I hope after the coronacrissis i Will find the power to visit Dr. Koen de smet...
I do know a lot of Taekwondo practitioners all over the world with hip resurfacing and they are very happy.. So i do believe in hip resurfacing. For the last 5 years of my life i dream and hope every day every second to have resurfacing..
@@themurrell260 first i call for an appointment to visit, then in februari went to Gent Belgium and they first make a xray. So.. And then they quickly see what the probem is. Then you get a conversation, and make a surgerycal plan about it.. Do you life close to Belgium?
I know your comment was a while ago, but may I ask, just in case you see this. Was it metal on metal, plastic on metal or plastic on plastic? Also are you quite active?
@@ShareTradingAdvice they are BHR’s metal on metal. I’m fairly active (swim, ski, hike). The limiting factors are my other arthritic joints though, not my hips!
@@bernsber I only saw your reply now, but thank you very much for your reply. I'm having mine fairly soon and trying to prepare. The main concern is metallosis and the problems that can come from that. Do you ever measure your levels with blood tests?
Thanks for putting out this video. I have a resurfaced hip from Dr. Mont in 2011, it has been a great experience. I rock climb and play tennis, and don't experience any difference post-op.
I saw in the NHL game highlights of the Bruins versus Capitals 2/11 game, there was a mention of a Capitals player who had a hip resurfacing and implied he is doing very well. I never heard of it and did some searches about the procedure. @ 1:25 in the video titled "Capitals @ Bruins 2/11 | NHL Highlights 2023", Nicklas Backstrom is said to have come back from a hip resurfacing.
Backstrom did come back but he didn't play great. He is getting older and he came back mid season. We'll see how he is with a full off season of training. Patrick Kane is getting his hip done as well.
@@mr.brenman2132 Thanks for the great update. Maybe at the very least, Mr. Backstrom's life after NHL will be much better to a smoothly operating hip joint.
I am really interested in getting resurfacing done. However, I live near Frankfurt, Germany right now, and it seems that there isn't a lot of docs that do resurfacing hear. Does anyone know of a good doctor in Germany?
Doctor, is resurfacing a good option for someone with avascular necrosis? I just turned 50 and have been diagnosed with AVN last year. Things are getting worse, so it’s definitely time to start thinking about surgery.
Hi DR Su, I am 35 male i have sever OA. My surgeon wont do hip resurfacing as he talks about chromium and cobalt ions in the blood. In the UK ceramic ones are still on trial. I am very active or was and his suggestion is to have 2 ceramic THR uncemented. To go against this will mean going private for 30k (15k each side) Im scared on lost with what my future is. Any advice or some calming knowledge
Go to another surgeon - Look up Mr Tony Andrade - he did mine 10 years ago and its been amazing - I need the other side doing and hes going to do it for me
How could you overlook Andy Murray? The former tennis world number 1 returned to the world's top 50 after resurfacing. He heard of the operation from Bob Bryan.

Thank you for this incredibly informative video! The surgeon I have chosen is offering the option of HRA over anterior approach THR because I hope to return to jiu-jitsu after surgery.

If a large ball, as is used in resurfacing, is correlated to fewer problems with dislocation, why not use a larger ball with a THR?
