I am a little over a year after my left hip resurfacing with Dr. Su, I have fully returned to all pre-surgery activities. I run 2-3 miles periodically, and I free weight squat and deadlift regularly and with moderately heavy weight. I occasionally have mild soreness and every now and then will experience a “clunk,” but my hip feels totally normal most of the time and feels very durable. I have converted from worrying about a full recovery to worrying about how long it will last! I hear so many stories of the implant lasting a lifetime! Here’s hoping!

The hips looked great, had blood work done for Cobalt (I guess they just track that now in that office), it came back at 1.0 with both hips. So the progression has gone : First test – Chromium 3.4, Cobalt 3.1, After four years – Chromium 1.7, Cobalt 1.1 and now after nine years – Cobalt 1.0  Having both hips done and the bar being to stay under 7, it is very good news.
