Arthroscopic Surgery of the Hip Posted: 03-20-04 12:14pm
I am wondering if anyone would be able to
give me advice on what options there are
out there for arthroscopic hip surgery.
For the past 7 months of so my right side
of my hip has been bothering me. This
happened from a bicycle accident. When I
am sitting in a chair with my right leg
extended about an 80 degree angle from the
knee I sometimes cannot lift my whole leg
untill I raise it with arm 6 iches up and
then it works great but untill that point
I am very restriced in movement. I went
to physical therapy for about 5 weeks and
overall little change. Please if anyone
has any suggestions or imput I would
appreciate it.

Garrett,
i just read your post now and hope I can
help.
I am also having problems, but with both
my hips.
Arthroscopic surgery sounds like a better
alternative to me than maybe later on
needing hip replacements.
I called the hospital of special surgery
in manhattan, new york (212-606-1000) to
find out what doctors perform arthroscopic
surgery of the hip. Someone there
matched me with a doctor who takes my
insurance. His name is Dr. Edwin su
(212-606-1128). He specializes in
arthroscopic surgery of the hip and
performs many of them. I have an
appointment with him in a couple of weeks
to see if I am a candidate for the
surgery.
I will probably go for a second opinion
somewhere, but I don't know where just
yet.
I don't know where you are from, but if
you are near nyc, it may be worth it for
you to get a opinion from him.
Good luck. Let me know how you are
doing.

I read a great article in the paper and it
directed people to a website
it is the website for Dr. Kevin lester
and I guess he invented this type of
surgery and teaches it to other doctors.
Go to the website and check it out.
There is lots of information there and it
sounds like what you are looking for.
Caution: always get a second opinion!
