Resurfacing
Hip
Leanne is a woman from New Jersey who previously had a kidney
transplant:
"I
am a kidney transplant recipient, and because of the steroids
I need to take, I suffered a vascular necrosis of both hips.
Two other doctors informed me that I would have to undergo
a conventional hip replacement. This would severely limit
my walking and activities. I am blind, and my mobility is
my independence. The Hip Resurfacing procedure that I had
has allowed me to live the life that I was used to living.
I have since had a shoulder replacement and a revision on
each hip. The knowledge that God has given to these surgeons
is an awesome thing, and I am thankful that they are using
their knowledge to be an extension of the Lord’s hand
to help those who need it. Thanks, docs!"

Marjorie, a 63 year-old woman from New Jersey:
"
Prior to surgery, I was in considerable pain and had numbness
in my foot and leg. My limp slowed me down, even with the
use of a cane. Two to three months after surgery, I was able
to walk again, with no pain, no limp, and at full speed. The
4-6 weeks after surgery were uncomfortable but tolerable.
The nursing care was very good and I felt confident in the
skills of my doctor, the nurses, and the physical and occupational
therapists. I am now walking more and have returned to work,
dancing, bike riding. I no longer have to wonder where my
cane is."
