I'm not sure why, but this story helped motivate me to get my surgery scheduled. I'll know after next week whether I'm grateful for that motivation.

Can he run ? Can he do sports now ?

I’m four weeks post hip replacement surgery and feeling great! Osteoarthritis was the issue not a helicopter crash! I have zero pain It’s great!

I just got my hip revision 3-12-24 feel awesome now

What about the 20% of cases where the suturing of the external rotator (piriformis) does not hold up? I had a posterior RH BHR done eight days ago and I have constant debilitating pain deep inside the right side of the buttock. Feels like an ongoing cramp originating from a spot about the size of a quarter.

Glad to know I just had replacements

I waited so long because of the pandemic. 2022 i got a hysterectomy and a new hip. Feel so much better.😂😂

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

Thank you for posting. Had my right done with Dr Mcminn in 2008 and the left with Dr Cobb this past January. Amazing stuff

Canadian surgeons dont have the skill for resurfacing

What’s the name of the guy who finished Badwater 135 after the procedure??

Exactly what I needed to hear!

This is a great segment. I loved watching John Starks play basketball for the Knicks. Both of his hips definitely dunked on Michael Jordan. Much respect to Dr. Su and John Starks for providing hope and positivity to others who may be dealing with similar hip issues.

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?

Could you recommend a top-notch hip resurfacing surgeon in Los Angeles/California?

I am 62 and want to get back into olympic lifting..Some docs say I have mild arthritus,yetbothers say I nred a replacement,totally confusing

Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸 Tell me doctor what would be the best place for the incision I am very active and I heard that I might need that surgery that I wanted to know the best product can you do a video on that and we're with the best incision be thank you doctor

Can you tell me where the incision scar will be located ?? Thank you

Hello from Rancho Mirage California 🇺🇸

Appreciate the update 🇺🇸

Polymotion inplant looks promising. Great presentation! Hip resurfacing looks the better option.

I’m 45 and will be getting surgery, not sure which one yet. I also do Muay Thai kickboxing. Will I still be able to do kickboxing at some point? Or is that something I should give up and do something else?

Why can't the replacement ball be as large as the original ball?

I am in Australia, can you recommend a BHR product, In Australia they use MatOrtho ADEPT, is this a good product or is there another type. Thanks

I am looking forward to having this done in six months. By Dr. SU.

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?

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.

@DrEdwinPSU why are AVN patients not good candidates for Hip resurfacing?

thanks for the video. so if i understand right this patient had a hip-resurfacing of her right hip only one month before the video? Is that correct? I'm watching her in astonishment how she can pull her knee to her chest just one month after the surgery... 😯 I had my left hip-resurfacing almost 8 months ago but i still can't bend my leg/hip beyond approx. 100 degrees. Which i find quite frustrating...

If you want to get entertained watch these three vids -- this what he did

I have been dealing with arithic hip arthritis for about 6 1/2 -7years, I have just recently come across the resurfacing topic of hip surgery and I guess would have to have a consultation with dr Edwin in order to get anything figured out, I'm 63yrs old, and I need both hips done, and I'm just wondering if could ever get in contact with dr Edwin, I have been able to find his new York phone number, I hope to eventually get a chance to talk with him,

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.

Supine means lying on your back - literally "facing the sun." That's a seated stretch.

Isn't robotics being used now? I was under the impression that Dr Pritchett was using it

Hello Doctor, is Hip resurfacing recommended in post Covid AVN, Ficat 3 and 4 , in a patient aged 40, male.

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.

This was so informative i can’t wait to meet you . I hope we come up with something great to relieve this pain

You are amazing. Please fix my legs.

I was diagnosed with bilateral arthritis on both of my hips, doctors already told me I will need hip replacement surgery, where can I sign up for this new material trials?

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.

What is the status? Just had a new hip installed. Zimmer Biomet G7 last week.

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!

Two hip replacements. He definitely left it all out on the court.

I will be getting a THR and though I am very nervous, I feel confident that Dr. Su is the right person to perform the surgery. I haven’t had much exercise this past year but will use here exercises to build strength prior to surgery and after. Thanks for posting.

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. However, given that I am female with hip dysplasia and too small for the Birmingham kit, I'm not certain which approach is really best for me. Any advice on how what else I should take into account when making my decision and/or what questions I should ask my surgeon? Which prosthetics are best for HRA in smaller females - "off-label" BioMet?

Just recommended this procedure to my uncle as state of the art, had no idea it’s decades old! If it works for the undertaker (WWE) then it should work for anyone.

I watched the whole surgery in my one breath I think I should change my job from an electrician to become an orthopedic surgeon or a doctor's assistant or at least take care of a patient during surgery and it could be bring benefits for everybody:) and than I go to work like my holiday everyday Dr. Su great job! Of course I don’t believe that I can reach you doctor Su I am from a really small village in PA, USA but I feel to trust you and I really would like you to operate on my right hip joint, I holding the pain since I was a child I am 39 now. Any way THANK you Doctor for your efforts to Bermingham Hip Resurfacing. You are my HERO.

Dr Su and Dr Boetner and Hospital for Special Surgery HSS are the BEST in the WORLD ; got my new hip there and it went perfectly!

Did she do BHR or a normal replacement?

Way to go Dr. Su!!
