Hip resurfacing is a great altenative for active adults with hip pain.
If you're experiencing regular and intense pain but don't want the lifestyle limitations impossed by a traditional hip replacement, you should learn more about hip resurfacing, today's most promising new technology for easing hip pain while allowing affected adults to maintain an active life.
Hip resurfacing procedures are on the rise because of the bone-conserving nature of the procedure which provides more stability and range of movement than a traditional total hip replacement. Hip resurfacing is most appropriate for active people with good bone quality who are suffering the agony resulting from osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
Robert Koch, MD, and Michael Repine, MD have received the specialized training needed to become the first local surgeons certified to perform Cormet Hip Resurfacing. Dr. Repine is also trained in the Birmingham hip resurfacing procedure.
To learn if hip resurfacing might be for you, or to schedule an appointment with Dr. Koch, or Dr. Repine please contact Boulder Medical Center today at 303-440-3036.
