Back to Resurfacing Total Hip Main Page

Resurfacing Hip

Leanne is a woman from New Jersey who previously had a kidney transplant: I am a kidney transplant recipient, and because of the steroids I need to take, I suffered a vascular necrosis of both hips.  Two other doctors informed me that I would have to undergo a conventional hip replacement.  This would severely limit my walking and activities.  I am blind, and my mobility is my independence.  The Hip Resurfacing procedure that I had has allowed me to live the life that I was used to living.  I have since had a shoulder replacement and a revision on each hip.  The knowledge that God has given to these surgeons is an awesome thing, and I am thankful that they are using their knowledge to be an extension of the Lord’s hand to help those who need it.  Thanks, docs!
