Hip Surgery and Total Joint Replacement of the Hip
Total hip replacement may be an option for patients who have severe hip arthritis that interferes with their everyday lives. For these patients, nonsurgical treatments may not provide sufficient pain relief. Total hip replacement restores the natural pain-free movement of the hip joint. Patients are often able to return to their favorite activities, including running, biking, golfing, and tennis. Dr. Ballard is board certified and received fellowship training in adult reconstruction surgery.
