Dr. Broome DIVES INTO: TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENTS

In a total hip replacement, we remove the ball to insert metal and plastic to make up for bone and cartilage loss. These parts are artificial, but serve the same function as our own. There are no nerves in the metal or plastic so the pain associated with the rubbing of ‘bone on bone’ in the joint is relieved.

Dr. Harris’ Patient Testimonial

I am so grateful to Dr. Harris because he's given me the opportunity to live this life. I missed a lot of things that I would have loved to have done because I couldn't. I was literally in pain all the time even when lying down and sleeping. I couldn't sleep because if I were lying down, it hurt. If I was sitting, it hurt. If I walked, it hurt. If I stood, it hurt.

A Knee Replacement Patient Testimonial for Dr. Broome

To be honest with you, I truly believe I'm better now than I was before the surgery. I truly do.

STRAIGHT FROM DR. STRYKER: TOTAL KNEE REPLACEMENT 101

Dr. Stryker uses a technique he created for first time knee replacement patients. He still makes an incision over the front of the knee. However, instead of cutting the tendon that attaches to the kneecap or the quadriceps tendon, he actually comes underneath the muscle and slides that muscle over the top to get into the knee. Then, he uses a computer to help him align the cutting guides. He would, then, shave off the very end of the thigh bone and the very top of the shin bone to replace those with metal caps.

Why See an Orthopaedic Specialist?

Many assume that the only reason to visit an orthopedic surgeon (specialist) is for surgery, but that's simply not the case. Orthopedic doctors specialize in the musculoskeletal system: the muscles, nerves, bones, joints, and connective tissues. They see patients with a variety of conditions such as arthritis, bursitis, osteoporosis, tumors, pain (such as knee pain, hip pain, joint pain, and muscle pain).

PATIENT TESTIMONIAL AFTER a Total HIP replacement

The way of life—I just couldn't stand it. People don't really understand the pain that I dealt with for almost 10 months before I did something about it. We should've done it nine months before that!
