START FOR THE WORKWEEK.
BRUCE AND JEN, BACK TO YOU.
AN INNOVATIVE MEDICAL
PROCEDURE HELPING YOUNG ACTIVE
MEN WITH KNEE AND HIP INJURIES.
IT IS CALLED HIP
RESURFACING, COULD BE AN
ALTERNATIVE TO TOTAL HIP
REPLACEMENT.
HERE TO TALK ABOUT THE BENEFITS,
AND DANNY WITH IT WHO COACHES 10
EXIST ACTUALLY HAD HIP
RESURFACING.
WE'LL GET YOUR BACKSTORY IN A
SECOND, BUT DOCTOR, LET'S START
WITH YOU.
HIP REPLACEMENT VERSUS HIP
RESURE FAZZING.
THEY BOTH DO VERY WELL WITH
TAKING ARTHITIC PAIN AWAY.
TOTAL HIM REPLACEMENT TAKES A
BEAUTIFUL JOB OF TAKING AWAY
ARTHITIC PAIN BUT LIMITS YOU IN
WHAT YOU CAN DO IN THE FUTURE.
THOSE PEOPLE THAT PLAY GOLF,
THEY CHANGE THEIR GOLF SWING.
PEOPLE WHO USED TO BE RUNNERS
ARE TAUGHT, DON'T RUN, MAKE IT
LAST A LONG TIME.
THEY CURTAIL HOW THEY WANT TO
LIVE THE REST OF THEIR LIFE.
YOU CAN GO BACK TO AN ACTIVE
LIFESTYLE WHERE REPLACEMENT
MIGHT BE MORE LIMITING.
CORRECT.
THAT IS THE GOAL IS TO GET YOU
BACK TO WHERE YOU WERE NOT WHEN
YOUR 20 YEARS OLD OR 15 YEARS
OLD PLAYING HIGH SCHOOL AND
COLLEGE SPORTS BUT GET YOU BACK
INTO THE LIFESTYLE YOU WANT TO
LIVE OUT.
DANNY, YOU'RE A TENNIS COACH
AND STARTED NOTICING PROBLEMS
WHEN YOU WERE IN THE MID TO LATE
20sAND GOT THE POINT WHERE
PUNISH U PUSH CAME TO SHOVE.
PAIN WAS INTOLERRABLE AND YOU
STARTED EXPLORING OPTIONS.
GIVE ME THE BACKSTORY.
WHEN I WAS 28, STILL VERY
ACTIVE, YOU KNOW, ONLY SO MANY
YEARS OUT OF COLLEGE AND I WAS
TEACHING A LOT ON THE COURT,
PLAYING A LOT AT TOURNAMENTS,
EXHIBITION MATCHES AND THOSE
KINDS OF THINGS AND I FELT LIKE
I HAD A GROIN-TYPE INJURY.
I WENT TO JACKSONVILLE OART
PEDDIC FOR A LONG TIME AND HE
BROKE THE NEWS THAT I HAD EARLY
SIGNS OF ARTHRITIS ON MY RIGHT
HIP WHICH WAS KIND OF A TOUGH
THING TO TAKE AT 28.
DID YOU PRETTY MUCH FIGURE
YOUR TENNIS GAME WAS GOING BE
OVER SOONER THAN LATER?
IT WAS ALREADY OVER ONCE I
GOT OUT OF COLLEGE, BUT IT WAS I
THINK THE PAINT WASN'T THAT BAD
THEN AND I THINK I HAD A PRETTY
GOOD PAIN TOLERANCE BUT I WAS
STILL ABLE TO BE PRETTY ACTIVE.
I JUST HAD TO START BEING A
LITTLE BIT MORE SELECTIVE WITH
THE ACTIVITIES THAT I WAS DOING
OUTSIDE OF MY JOB AND RUNNING
AROUND THE TENNIS COURT.
Bruce: YOU HAD THE HIP
RESURFACING AND THE DOCTOR SAYS
YOU'LL BE BACK AT YOUR GAME NO
WORRIES.
WERE YOU SKEPTICAL?
NO, NOT REALLY.
I HAD ALL THE TRUST, YOU KNOW,
LIKE I SAID I'VE BEEN GOING TO
JACKSONVILLE ORTH PETER PEDDIC
FOR A LONG TIME AND I MET
Dr. FRYBERG AND VERY
COMFORTABLE WITH HIM RIGHT AWAY
AND HE REALLY KIND OF SAID, HERE
IS THE SITUATION, I DON'T REALLY
KNOW HOW MUCH PAIN YOU'RE IN OR
WHAT YOUR PAIN TOLERANCE IS,
BUT, YOU KNOW, I FELT LIKE THAT
THINGS WERE GOING TO ONLY
CONTINUE TO GET WORSE AND I WAS
AFRAID THAT OTHER PARTS OF MY
BODY WERE GOING START HURTING
AND, IT IS BAD ENOUGH HAVING ONE
AREA HURTING.
Bruce: I CAN'T EVE IMAGINE.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE FOR THIS AND WHO
IS NOT?
YOU DON'T HAVE TO BE A
PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE LIKE DANNY
OVER HERE, BUT YOUNG, ACTIVE,
MALE PATIENT DO VERY WELL WITH
THIS.
I SAY MALE BECAUSE FEMALES TEND
TO NOT DO SO WELL THE PROCEDURE.
I REALLY TRY NOT TO OFFER IT TO
THEM.
IS THAT FOR ANOTOMICAL
REASONS.
THE BONES ARE NOT ALL THAT
STRONG ENOUGH TO HOLD IT, FOR
THE MOST PART.
SO WE TRY TO STICK TO MALES AND
HAVE REALLY GOOD OUTCOMINGS.
THE SUCCESS RATE SUH PRETTY
GOOD.
YES.
COVERED BY INSURANCE IN MOST
CASES.
YES.
HOW LONG START TO FINISH
BEFORE SOMEONE GETS A BACK TO
REGULAR LIFESTYLE.
EVERYONE IS DIFFERENT, FOR
ATHLETES LIKE DANNY, IT IS
DIFFERENT.
BASICALLY DEPENDS WHAT KIND
OF SHAPE YOU'RE IN.
YES.
IT IS NOT GOING THE MAKE YOU
A PROFESSIONAL ATHLETE.
IT MAY NOT IMPROVE YOUR
GAME, EITHER, GOLF OR TENNIS BUT
YOU CAN USE IT AS AN EXCUSE IF
YOU MESS UP ON THE COURSE.
