Surfacehippy^SM is for sharing information and experiences among patients who have had hip resurfacing surgery. Anyone who has had surgery or is interested in learning about about the procedure is welcome to participate with other surfacehippies. See www.ActiveJoints.com for more information on total hip replacement (THR) and other alternatives.
