Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Patient in Chicago - Pro Golf Caddy Video

Dr. Eugene Lopez, MD is the founding partner of Midwest Sports Medicine and Orthopaedic Surgical Specialists, Ltd. in the Chicago area. Dr. Lopez who performed this Birmingham Hip Resurfacing surgery is a board certified orthopedic surgeon who is specialty trained in arthroscopic surgery in Chicago, sports medicine in Chicago and total joint replacement surgery in Chicago. His Chicago practice is focused on, but not limited to, athletic injuries of the young and the aging athlete. This surgery was performed on Professional Golf Caddy, Robert Reifke.

The hip is a ball-and-socket joint. In a healthy hip, the ball-end of the thighbone swivels smoothly in the socket of the pelvis, but in an unhealthy hip, the thighbone and socket may become rough and worn. The bones of the joint rub together causing pain, swelling and stiffness. The BHR is part of a surgical procedure that replaces these worn ball-and-socket surfaces in the joint with smooth, durable high-carbide cobalt chrome.

With traditional hip replacement in Chicago, the surgeon removes a lot of bone, but with BHR surgery in Chicago, worn-out hip joints are resurfaced rather than completely replaced. This bone-saving difference is important. Since a BHR patient's hip anatomy is closer to normal, they enjoy increased stability and range of movement.
