Hip Replacement

Patient image of: Ed Savickas

After years of catching in baseball, my hips had suffered the "wear and tear." I had extreme hip pain and a very pronounced limp as a result of favoring it. I came to Dr. Alexiades because my wife had researched the anterior approach for hip replacement. I had my left hip replaced in October '13 and the right hip was replaced in October '14. I was discharged same day from both procedures! I started my rehab two days later in both cases. I'm back to full workouts, bike riding, weights, etc. Actually I was doing that 5-6 weeks after each surgery! Thanks for giving me my active lifestyle back....pain-free!
