I would if possible look into a procedure called hip resurfacing. I had it done 7 years ago and I am still and active person. If you your bone density is OK, I would look into it. No sense having a surgeon remove a good part of your femur. There are a number of good doctors who do it no real good ones in CT. Best close by is Dr. Su in NYC.
A doc named Su?

Sounds like a country song.

I was diagnosed 3 years ago with arthritis in both hips. Been ok, but L hip deteriorated significantly since July 4th. Now tuff to arise from sitting without gritting teeth. Need replacement surgery.

Anyone have any experience / advice ( do 1 or both at once. anterior/lateral/or posterior cut)? Or horror stories?
