This Genius resurfaced my Left Hip! Dr. Su you're the Best!
@royaltyproslicensing80033 жыл бұрын
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.

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.

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 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.
