parkinson's disease and hip replacement
Hip Replacement is a surgery that vastly improve the quality of life of our patients. Even in cases where damage is severe prior to surgery, a total hip replacement can increase mobility, significantly reduce or eliminate pain, and allow the patient to resume his or her daily routine with confidence.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a type of movement disorder. It happens when nerve cells in the brain don't produce enough of a brain chemical called dopamine. Sometimes it is genetic, but most cases do not seem to run in families. Exposure to chemicals in the environment might play a role.
