A key focus of my practice is the evaluation and treatment of adult hip problems, including:

• First-time Hip Replacement surgery
• Revision Total Hip Replacement surgery
• Bone grafting and Reconstruction surgery
• Consequences of hip fracture
• Consequences of childhood hip disorders e.g. CDH, dysplasia, SUFE
• Sporting disorders and muscle problems
• Evaluation of problematic Hip Replacements

Hip Joint Replacement Surgery is usually considered once other therapies, such as pain medications, have failed. Most people undergo hip replacement as a result of osteoarthritis of the hip joint.

You might want to ask your doctor about the possibility of hip replacement if you frequently experience any of the following:

• Pain that keeps you awake at night
• Little or no relief from pain medications
• Difficulty walking up or down stairs
• Trouble standing from a seated position
• Having to quit activities you enjoy because you’re in too much pain

Hip replacement surgery removes damaged or diseased parts of a hip joint and replaces them with new, man-made parts. The goals of this surgery is to relieve pain, help the hip joint work better and improve walking and other movements.
