Hip Resurfacing

James Folgia

I’ve played just about everything my entire life, especially basketball and heavy weightlifting. All of that playing left some body parts worn out! While trying to clear an obstacle at a competitive combine race and while biking in a mini triathlon, the pain was excruciating and I felt that I had to seek out advice and a path forward. Dr. Edwin Su and his great team performed hip resurfacing surgery on both hips some 5 years apart and no other decision in my life affected me more positively than this. Hip resurfacing allows full range of motion and activities for me, including basketball, heavy weightlifting, and singles tennis, with no signs of slowing down. Of course as I continued to push my body other parts experience similar wear and tear and Dr. Dylan Bennett and his team took care of some tennis elbow tendinitis and ankle arthritis from all of those sprains I experienced playing hoops over the years. I am forever grateful to the team at HSS and there is no other destination if you want to get moving again.
