Hip Pain to Ironman: Scott's Surgical Triumph
20 Jun
Summary
- Scott completed an Ironman race despite pre-existing hip pain.
- He underwent hip replacement surgery in March 2025.
- One year post-surgery, he ran another marathon successfully.
Scott Schreiman, aged 58, demonstrated incredible resilience by competing in an Ironman race with advanced osteoarthritis in his hip. Though he finished the demanding event, his hip pain worsened, leading to surgery in March 2025. His surgeon, Dr. Miller, utilized robotic assistance and mixed-reality goggles for the procedure.
One year after his hip replacement, Schreiman not only returned to running but successfully completed a marathon. He credits a dedicated physical therapy regimen for his recovery. His surgical hip now feels more stable than his other, leading him to plan further athletic achievements, including another Ironman and the New York Marathon in the fall of 2026.
