I was wondering if anyone thinks they know who the best hip replacement Dr is in the United States Of America! Also who they think is the best facility and procedures? Do you thing robot assisted surgery is better? If this RV s I want the best treatment available! Thanks in advance for any information! I really believe we have some very smart people here! 🤠JMHO

It went so well she didn’t even have to have physical therapy. No robots just dang good doctors. Good luck.

Artitech - 1st and foremost I am not a orthopedic surgeon, (darn). I have been helping people for many years and have researched the heck out of the subject.

 

Every situation is different. I would say that if you grind it down to the nub then a "total" is necessary.

 

If you catch it early then a hemi is possible:

 

Way less invasive.

 

I would also recommend that the procedure be done anterior  (from the front) verse a lateral (side) procedure.

 

Old school doctors do it from the side and many don't do a hemi.

 

I would push them and only do a hemi. Try not to wait, catch it early.

 

Like any other profession get one with experience, one that has done at least 75 - 100

or more would do the trick.

 

Hope it helps,

Hey I really appreciate your response Big Wave! The Dr I have been being seen by, told me he went in from the front like what you have described! Thanks again, side note, I have been going and getting Extracorporeal shock wave Therapy.(ESWT)! It has really helped me with the pain! The problem is it’s very expensive! Thanks again! 🤠 JMHO
