Less Intrusive Hip Replacement Procedures Posted: 10-02-03 23:54pm
I am a 47 year old woman who is going to
need my hip replaced soon. I've been
doing research on the internet regarding a
procedure performed at rush hospital in
chicago where 2 - incisions are made but
the muscles, etc. Aren't cut as in the
standard hip replacement surgeries. The
doctor's name that performs this is Dr.
Buerger. The procedure is fairly new,
and I would like to know if anybody
reading this has read about it or had this
procedure done. I live in wisconsin.
