Hip Resurfacing

Bob Walter

I started running when I was 49 and would do a few half-marathons every year. By the time 63 rolled around, my right hip was shot, I was bone on bone and running was out of the question. Then a good friend introduced me to Dr. Edwin Su and although older than most, he felt I was still a good candidate for a hip resurfacing which would buy another 15 years of running. Dr. Su performed the operation in October and I was told to give it six months before running again. Today, six months later to the day, I ran again. Thanks to Dr. Su, his amazing team and everyone at HSS, I am Back in the Game!
