need hip surgery???
I want to tell anyone that is in need of hip surgery that I had my left hip done Nov. 21...I had a procedure done that was less invasive that is done by most drs.....The reg. way is a long insision on side of leg and muscles cut from femur and stomach...I had a small insision and no muscles cut. This Dr. replaces between the muscles...It was a piece of cake. I was driving in three weeks and no cane in 5 weeks and was at the mall.....This procedure is call the Anterior procedure...not all Drs. do it this way. I went to the Rothman institute in Philly....Drs. name is Hozak...surgery done in Jefferson....Ask about this way if you are having a hip done....it's worth it. The other way, it takes about 6 months to recover....Feel free to get back to me if you have any questions. I would be glad to talk to you....Michelle
