I am a tennis player and a tennis fan, and I also sugested this topic about murrays injury, because even though it's not the most common one, when it happens, this injury tends to end the player's career, like it did to Guga Kuerten and Magnus Norman. Thanks for the vid doc! Tennis injuries are always welcome!

as someone who suffered a labral tear, you explained this perfectly. Also recently stumbled upon andy murray: resurfacing doc... really great stuff. thanks for sharing

Last time I was this early, I didn’t even know about this amazing channel.

excellent explanation doc!

Great video keep it up!

Good stuff as always

keep up the good work man

It was terrible to watch his interview at the Australian Open in January. Very emotional. Hope Murray can continue to play or if not, end it at Wimbledon. Thanks for the explanation of his injury. I hope you can do a video on tiger woods' fusion surgery.

Very articulate explanation; does sound like the jury is out on what the long term affects are going to be on AM; 🤞

Having had one of the first resurfacings from McMinn himself (he was the major developer of the Birmingham Hip Resurfacing) in 2001 (due to congenital dysplasia) , I returned to active martial arts (judo/jujutsu) and can vouch that it works great. No restrictions and I took up heavy weightlifting to boot post-op. As for metal, I routinely get tested and all of my bloodwork shows that the levels are within normal ranges. I also returned to McMinn to get a Birmingham Knee Replacement in 2015 (I blew out left my knee in 1980 and got one of the earliest ACL repairs, so it was high time for new knee) and still, all of my numbers of excellent. I would state up front that surgical ability is the deciding factor in a return to high-end athletics. In the case of McMinn, he has very detailed checklists for placement and other quality assurance, plus he is just a fantastic workman. I am getting ready for having the other hip resurfaced now. This bring me to the reason for this post. The injury to the knee has accelerated the wear and tear of every other joint on the opposite side (right. ankle, knee and shoulder issues) as well as the hip. This is what playing hard even after a successful bit of orthopedic surgery does. This is because the left knee after the ACL rebuild was a tiny bit off. The hip resurfacing, however, was most excellent and actually fixed several growing issues I was having.

great video Now we know he is back playing tennis. He will need to periodise his progress careful so that the joint becomes adapted to the effort and loads. If he starts going deep in every tournament, playing a lot of heavy matches too soon that could cause trouble Needs to pick and choose his events, training really well in between and recover fully

I loved the video as always but what I loved the most is the change of music, avoiding that hip-hop base that's everywhere.

Hi Brian, just found your channel. I am facing a replacement too, and wonder whether I can do crossfit again. The issue is e.g. on deep loaded squats, box jumps and rope jumping. Any idea? And: you talk about a study. Have a reference? Thanks for these informing and promising videos

Hey man love your vids you give me so much info and I was just wondering if you were up to doing Cj McCollum

He is back and winning

Thank man, can you explain Larry Bird back problems

Excited to bring some coverage to another sport!! For the non tennis fans, this surgery is the sort of thing an injury like what Isaiah Thomas could lead to if not treated well.

Do a Del Potro wrist injury... Do a grant hill injury, staph infection too. He almost died.

Should consider doing Ken Roczen's 2017 arm injury he sustained in Supercross. I realise that it's from a less popular sport but I would love to have you break it down.

Hi Brian, loved the video. Am a 30 year old and former junior tennis player from Chile. Now am avoiding this surgery for more than a year just with therapy, but everytime I play tennis the pain comes back so really started to consider the surgery. Any suggestion on how to approach and take the decision (doctor, place, etc)? Thanks man, any input will mean the world.

Do you know anything about hip - botox- intraarticular injections? I have been reading about it and it seems to be worth trying.

i had FAI and I had surgery on both with arthroscopy. that's no joke

Can you do a video about Tommy John surgery?

It depends on the experience of the surgeon and the brand. In 2008 there was a international recall of the ASR of dePuy these implants where very bad developed so they took them out of the market. But they also tried to take the BHR Birmingham of the market (these were the best and had no problems) unfortunately some countries they quit resurfacing and thinking all of the brands of resurfacing are the same. (some countries you need a very strict qualification being a resurfacing surgian :more than 15 years of experience in total hip replacement and at least 50 resurfacing surgerys joining a year) Anyway... There is now something new the H1.. A ceramic hip resurfacing, so there will be no metal icons any more... (it's gonna be a to long story)..I know many martial artists with resurfacing and they doing amazing great even JCVD has resurfacing (the best surgians in the world are in Belgium Dr. Koen de smet in the UK. Dr. Derek mcminn and in New York Dr. Edward su) So... Ok.. Good video and thank you very much..

Can you please do Tiger Woods with all of his back in problems next.

I was wondering if you could explain Patellar-Tenditis, and the best way to deal with this pain, or work to limit the pain while still playing sports.?

looks like hes doing great 👍👍👍

Can you explain rafael nadal knees injuries ?

Hey Doc! Love your videos but I must say that the music in the beginning really threw me off

Hi there from Cuckada . Your north neighbour

In which hospital Murray did hip replacement?????? Can u pls tell me the name pls???

I am 30 years old and have run about 20k miles in my life. Both of my hips have started hurting a decent amount. I was wondering if hip resurfacing would help me get back into running. I really miss not being able to run... thanks!

Great info. I’m getting a total hip replacement in the middle of June. But after watching your video, I might consider resurfacing. I’m a 48 male and I love basketball and boxing. Will the resurfacing be better for me? Also you mentioned some alarming things. If medal does break in the body, what can happen to us health wise? Thank you in advance

You should tell something about the danger and risk of the mcminn hip!!!

I am a marathon runner and I am due for this very operation later this year. Will I still be able to run long distances after recovery?

Hey Brian do you have any experience with SCFE?

Keep going doctor

I recently watched your video re Andy Murray's hip surgery (resurfacing) dated 3/13/2019. Years ago, there was another tennis player who was essentially a clay court specialist, but he had all the tools to become one of the greats (including being relatively tall, lanky and flexible). His name was Gustavo Kuertin (nickname "Gūga"). Unfortunately, after he underwent 'hip surgery', he never returned to high level competition. I don't know the nature of his injury or the ensuing procedure. I wonder if the technology or procedure was not sufficiently developed or known at that time, or whether his injury was too severe?

Do Ronaldo's knee injury from 2016 euro final

I'm 52 year old performance cyclist, have been for years, racing, time trials, train like there's no tomorrow. I had to give up racing and time trials due to my hips. I have impingement which has been operated on three times and now have holes in my cartilages. I'm currently waiting to have my hips replaced. Was on a trial for ceramic resurfacing which was suspended so now back waiting for full replacement. When I discussed my active sport with the surgeon he said that he no longer did metal on metal resurfacing due to the blood contamination complications. Told me that he was routinely removing his previous metal on metal surfacing even if the joint was okay due to the blood contamination issue. Said it was a big problem and only a few surgeons in the UK now do metal on metal surfacing because of this reason. This is why I was shocked to learn that Murray opted for metal on metal. I think the US have a more liberal approach to metal on metal, that or the UK health service have over reacted to the contamination issue. Ideally I'd love to have resurfacing but from what I have learned the risk is high. I'm in a state of puzzlement at the moment with conflicting advice.

You made some good points. However you did not include, that a hip surface replacement will need a much larger acetabular cup. So yes, you safe so,e bone on the femur side, however you loose more on the acetabular side. You already mentioned that Metal on Metal joints will release metallic ions into the body, which you will find the blood and organs. Those patients interestingly suffer from neurological symptoms quite often. In such a case you would end up in the need to exchange the surface replacement after quite a short time. So in the end the patient will end up with bone loss on both the femur and the pelvis. There a short stems which safe a good part of the femoral neck, without the need of cutting a 60+ mm hole into the pelvis. This should always be considered, when a THA is planned.

Why they are not making zirconia prosthetics?

well he's back and just won an atp title last week

You should fo golf or hockey injurys

How is he only at 50k subs?

I'm 60 and just had hip resurfacing by Dr gross in Columbia SC I'm doing great

Murray Hip replacement Hospital name pls

This is obviously the way to go. But, the two metal surfaces rubbing together cause a possible poisoning of the body. Have they gotten to a point where the socket is not metal ?

So end conclusion of whether Murray can return to top level is we just don’t know because no one has ever done it before. This isn’t like Bob Bryan who had the same operation and returned to doubles. If Andy has lost the same movement in his hip and the explosiveness he won’t get back to the same level he was before. And unlike Bob, the he needs to cover the full court. Long term, I read from another leading hip surgeon on BBC that at best Andy risks more injury and at worst he risks long term arthritis in his hip. He could probably return to play the sport, but would he be happy to just be a journeyman he wins the odd match, if that. Andy says he will know in his mind for certain 8-9 months post surgery, so by Shanghai Masters. Maybe he changes his mind about Doubles just to play one last time at Wimbledon next year?

Though Hip resurfacing or partial hip replacement is good for young patient who has hip impingement problem but hip resurfacing has avg. 10 years life and THR has 10-15 years, with ceramic on ceramic or ceramic on poly it gives good life 20-25 years acc. To literature there are exceptional cases who enjoyed their THR more than 25 years.

gold hip 👍👍👍👍

I've had bilateral BHR. Life changing!

The downfall of a Birmingham hip resurfacing = elevated metal ion levels = overtime become extremely dangerous. I have this same hip and have to monitor my levels extremely closely. They affect you systematically.

More Soccer players please

This is 4 years ago

Check out Jovan R. Laskovski, M.D.. He saved me from a hip replacement and repaired the cartilage missing from the femoral head, without any metal.

👌

I think he can get back to professional tennis, but if he does he'll destroy his hip. He might regret not getting it replaced. PS, I'm an x-ray tech so it was dope to see you check this out.

I imagine his hip exploding the same way Kyle's knees (Mr. Garrison's balls) exploded when playing basketball in that South Park episode.

Can Andy Murray still play tennis are you kidding he recently played in the Australian Open in January 2023 and he played fantastically he did not reach the finals but he beat several players. Knowing that Andy has had two hip replacements and played so well I just recently had one hip replaced. So does that mean I could play half as well as Andy?

Just had mine done at 28 - 5 days in still painful but feeling good

Idk if he could play tbh, moving back and forth moving hips, he probably won't have the same hip mobility

Federer is so op never retires from any match

Murray goat!

NOLE is still the best.

His play style seemed very stressing on body

Can he not just give up pro tennis now? He's getting so many signs..
