Hello all, I'm a 52 yr old male who is 10 days post surgery for the installation of a Birmingham Hip Resurfacing (BHR) procedure.
http://www.birminghamhipresurfacing.com/
So far my recovery sounds very similar to those on the forum who have had a THR, I am walking with crutches and able to navigagte stairs relatively easily. No hip pain any more, but still uncomfortable from the surgical wound. I'm a large frame (250lbs) and have a football player build, including large glutes, so the surgeon said he needed to use a larger than normal incision (14" and 42 staples to close), which sort of freaked me out at first as I was expecting a max of 8", but it hasn't been an issue so far.
Was wondering if anyone else had a BHR and would like to make contact, especially of they are going through recovery now.
Thanks!
