Floyd Landis Hip Resurfacing 2006

Floyd Landis helped Lance Armstrong win the 2002 Tour de France. In January of 2003, Floyd crashed in training and fractured his hip, badly displacing the head of the femur. Surgery repaired the fracture, but the real damage wouldn’t be seen for a few years.

In 2006, Floyd’s hip pain increased as he won the inaugural Tour of California, the Paris-Nice stage race, the Tour de Georgia and the 2006 Tour de France. In September of 2006 he received a BHR Hip.

“We went through quite a bit of information and options, including other possible resurfacings. Right from the beginning we were pretty sure that resurfacing was the ideal thing. By the time we learned everything there was to know about it, it became apparent that the BHR really, based on its history, the amount of experience, the amount of testing that has gone into it, the amount of time it has been around, it was by far the best option to give me the best chances to come back to the level I was at before. We did look at it with caution, and none of the decisions we made were based on sacrificing anything just so I could continue to race my bicycle. It was more that we wanted the best thing for me for my age that would give me the longest and the best quality of life.”
