Guest guest Posted January 31, 2004 Report Share Posted January 31, 2004 Kennedy has been performing hip resurfacings for the past 3 years. I had mine done in Nov 2002. ROM is excellent. I can go beyond 90 degrees of flexion, internal and external rotation is pain free. I lift weights daily including leg press and squats. I would highly recommend him. The staff at Sarasota Memorial is excellent. My anesthesiologist was Dr. Irving Smiler. Also an excellent physician. Y. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted February 2, 2004 Report Share Posted February 2, 2004 > Does anyone know a surgeon in florida that does hip resurfacing? > Also what kind or range of motion can I expect w/ a hip resurfacing? > Thanks in advance. Steve, I can bring my knee almost all the way to my chest now one year later and its been like that for quite some time. The only problem I have with range of motion nowadays is that my belly gets in the way alot. Jeff :-) (1-3-03 C2K Dr. W. Kennedy) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tell me about your leg presses. Right hip was done three weeks ago. Diane Eisman Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 16, 2004 Report Share Posted February 16, 2004 I began leg presses and squats at about 12mos postop. I am careful not to go beyond 90 degrees of hip flexion. My body wt is 200lbs. I started with approx 1/2 my body wt and I am now up to 240lbs on the leg press and 150lbs on the squat rack. If I feel the slightest strain, I reduce the resistance and do a few more reps. Good luck and proceed slowly and controlled. PYungst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
