Hello Dr. Carreira, I'm writing to express my gratitude and thanks for a successful surgery and allowing me to return to my passion for running and cycling. On Sep 27, 2015, almost 2-years to the date of my hip labral repair, I completed the Berlin Marathon without any pain or discomfort whatsoever. In fact, I was running to the same level prior to injury and was able to finish the marathon in 3hr 41min. Racing in marathons, ultramarathons, triathlon etc is a way of life for me and you helped me keep that way of life and continue it!!! Again, thank you very much Doc!!!! Cheers Joaquin
