many orthopods are skeptical of hip resurfacing
Iâd love to see Livers get hired by BTN.
I hope the play-by-play person calls dagger 3s anchor babies
What a shame for Livers. So many what ifs. If itâs hard for me to be at peace with what happened his senior year, imagine how hard it must be for him.

Yup⌠team couldâve used him badly
Not quite in line with this thread, but re: almost former Michigan players NOT in NBAâŚ
I watched Terrence Shannon Jr play in Detroit today for the Iowa Wolves. His unique skill set carries over well to the G league. He is just as difficult to keep in front of you as he was in college. No idea whether that can carry through to the NBA but he is already a very good G leaguer.

Yep, Iâve had this surgery and it is an excellent alternative to a full hip replacement. My understanding is that you can have a full replacement re-done only once, so the resurfacing pushes back the timeline for eventual full replacement (and potential re-do). Avoiding a full replacement now will allow Livers lots of time (hopefully decades) before requiring a full replacement.
I am in no way comparing myself to a professional athlete in his 20s, but my surgeon strongly advised against running up and down a basketball court after having my hip resurfaced. IIRC, Isaiah Thomas and Andy Murray are two pros who returned to their sports after having resurfacing surgeries.

I had my hip done at U of M. I raised the option of hip resurfacing, but none of the âhipâ surgeons would do hip surfacing. There were higher incidents of breaking, particularly with women. As I recall, hip resurfacingâthe âBirmingham methodâ-- was first designed and popular in England. That was 10 years agoâthere may have been improvements since then.
âthe Birmingham methodâ sounds like a euphemistic term for either a particularly gruesome form of amputation used in WWI or maybe some form of early psychotherapy that involves copious amounts of LSD and very relaxed professional boundaries with patients
