Hip Arthritis

Tony Fleck

I was a former competitive runner with a very active lifestyle that also included bicycling and kayaking. As my arthritis worsened, my ability to run and stay active became difficult. I researched Hip Resurfacing and the benefits and advantages it gives patients to continue an active life style. I came across Dr. Edwin Su in my research and read many of his success stories and knew this is what I wanted. I have had both hips resurfaced by Dr. Su at HSS and I now have mobility back that I have not had since high school plus no pain whatsoever. I did go back to running for a short while after my first hip was resurfaced and had no issues, but I decided not to run after my second hip (other side) although I'm sure I could. I am now able to mount a bicycle easily swinging my leg across the bike something I hadn't done in years. I continue to be very active bicycling, rowing and kayaking without any hip pain. I don't even think about my hips. Dr. Su and everyone I came into contact with at HSS are the best. I have recommended them to friends and relatives who have had the same success as I have had. I feel very very fortunate.
