"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 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."
