earn my living teaching, training and exercising."

“The hip was incredible – I am so stoked,” Dan said. “I have taken my CONSERVE® Plus implant and surfed the great surf
spots all over the world. I also did quite a bit of hiking on that trip (to 17,000 feet elevation), and I had zero problems.”

"This hip resurfacing surgery did me a lot of good, I’m not a vegetable anymore."

“Riding a bike is very forgiving because you’re not bearing too much weight on your hip,” Scott explained. But knowing that his riding days were numbered, two years after he first heard about hip resurfacing, he finally decided to call Dr. Schmalzried. In May of 2002, Scott underwent surgery.

“Right away after the surgery, my pain just dropped away,” he recalls. A month after his physical therapy ended, he played in a singles tennis match, feeling that “I was as good as new.”

“I feel like there’s nothing I can’t do. My strength and range of motion have returned and it is again a joy to either take class or teach others.”

“If you are religious, I am blessed; if not, then I won the lottery. On a scale of one to ten, I used to rate my pain at an eight to ten, now I’m at a zero or one thanks to my surgery. Having the surgery has restored my life, now I can do everything I want. This was the best decision I have made regarding my health.”

"Before surgery my life was ‘I can’t do that.’ Now it’s ‘Hey, why not?"

"It was extremely satisfying,” Jeffrey remembers. “I wanted to rub it in to everyone that I had surgery on both hips and was still able to dominate!”

“I’m extremely satisfied and can again sleep though the night. My range of motion is as good as when I was 45.”
|
| |
"I wanted to get my hip fixed while I still had the drive and energy to return to the top of my game. My new hip has given me a second life."
|
| |
“I did my part, I’d be able to get back to skiing and surfing, and it wouldn’t be a problem. And it was true – I can now surf as well as I ever could. I’ve even traveled to Nicaragua where I was able to push the limits of my surfing more than I ever have before.”
|

“My expectation is to do everything without pain.”
|
| |
“I can’t believe how well my hip is holding up. I am in better shape now and have shaved time off my biking."
|
| |
“Dr. Macaulay has been amazing, he said I would be able to resume normal
activity without pain and this hip resurfacing procedure has exceeded my
expectations! I am pain free – I’m totally back to normal!”
