Yes, hip replacement is a major surgery. It requires anesthesia and a recovery period. Although it can take several weeks, or even months, to recover from a hip replacement, patients report increased mobility and range of motion, decreased pain and inflammation and overall better quality of life. If you or someone you love has tried other treatments for hip pain without success, a hip replacement may be what you need to find relief. Our qualified orthopedic surgeon is experienced at performing hip replacements and can help restore your form and function. Paul (Dr. D) Dicpinigaitis is well-known for his patient-centered approach and the time he takes to care for each patient. Call us today to book an appointment. We look forward to serving you! We serve patients from Lake Success NY, Russell Gardens NY, Spinney Hill NY, Great Neck Estates NY, Thomaston NY, Manhasset Hills NY, and North Hills NY.
