Hip Replacement

Kristi Anne Nadvornik

After years of moving, running, gymnastics, and participating in triathlons, I started ballroom dancing in my mid-50's. Six months into this new adventure my right hip became very painful. It was difficult to even walk my dog. After a complete evaluation, Dr. Rodriguez performed a total hip replacement. Only six months after the surgery, I started participating in ballroom dance competitions. I've since won 2 world championship titles and the prestigious Best of the Best title, awarded to only 3 people a year. My new hip is never a hindrance. The hip replacement was like winning the lottery! Dr. Rodriguez is phenomenal. I would not be able to walk if I hadn't had my hip replaced. Dr. Rodriguez, you're the best! Thank you for keeping me moving and dancing into my 60s!
