  • is arthritis possible when one is in his or her 20s?

  • Dr. Sculco, your THP surgeons should train better so that they can perform the Direct Anterior Approach for hip surgery which is less invasive and has a shorter recovery period vs. the procedure all of your doctors at HSS perform. Maybe if you buy the correct equipment and the special table you might be able to really help THR pagtients. After seeing 3 of your doctors that only offered the old approach, I finally found the right one at NY Hospital for Joint Diseases.
