Anterior Hip Replacement in La Grange, KY

View Hide Transcript
♪ [music] ♪

I recommend anterior hip replacement surgery to
patients that begin to develop severe arthritis

in their hip that it is significantly
limiting in their activities of daily living,

especially when they become a falls risk or they're
no longer able to do the things that they enjoy.

With anterior hip replacement surgery, we are
able to perform this procedure through a smaller

incision in the front of the hip.

This allows us to spread through muscle planes.

We do not need to cut any muscle.

And we're able to use intra-operative X-ray to
perfectly position the implants to make sure that we

can restore the patient's native anatomy,
position the implants to give them the

best possible outcome.

Patients will have less postoperative
restrictions and a lower risk of dislocation.

I think the best benefit for patients is that they
don't have to travel into a major metropolitan area

to have the same benefits and receive the same
cutting-edge techniques for surgical intervention

for hip replacement surgery.

Being able to have it done at a smaller institution,
usually we're able to get patients scheduled quicker.

Patients get more one-on-one
care in a smaller institution.

We have physical therapy on-site that will work
with the patients the same day before they go home.

So overall, I think it's an
excellent thing to have here.

I find this to be incredibly rewarding.

It's a life-changing operation for patients.

They're some of the happiest patients I
have worked with on a day-to-day basis.

They have excellent recovery.

Most of them have no pain by the
time that they come in at two weeks.
