Mindy Shufelt’s Anterior Total Hip Replacement by Dr. Grammer 2018

Total Hip Replacement Posted on June 17, 2018 by Patricia WalterJune 17, 2018

ROGERS, Ark. June 14, 2018 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Pain in Mindy Shufelt’s hip began several years ago and slowly got worse. Because of a physically demanding job where she’s on her feet, she resorted to a strange gait to help her get through the day. She calls it “the pirate walk.”

“Hitch and drag, hitch and drag,” she explained.

An X-ray showed severe hip arthritis that was “bone on bone.” Mercy orthopedic surgeon, Dr. W. Cody Grammer, recommended total hip replacement and because of Mindy’s age and otherwise good health, she was able to leave the same day as her … Read the Rest

Ruth Scarabino’s Posterior and Anterior Approach THRs 2012/2016

…After suffering with pain for about 10 months, Scarabino, 68, had an artificial hip implanted on Oct. 21, 2012, using the posterior approach.

A second artificial-hip operation on her other hip was performed by orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dominic Peters on Feb. 8, 2016 using the anterior approach…

…With the anterior approach, there is a minimal incision located on the front of the hip. Using this technique, the surgeon moves muscles aside rather than cutting through them thereby creating less damage and trauma to the soft tissues around the hip and allowing for a quicker recovery time, … Read the Rest

Ben’s THR by Dr. Kreuzer 2009

Total Hip Replacement Posted on December 4, 2015 by Patricia WalterMarch 31, 2018

I wanted to thank you for your incredibly helpful site. Three weeks ago I had a THR with Dr. Kreuzer here in Houston using the Anterior Approach he specializes in. It’s now been 3 1/2 weeks and I have been walking without a cane for over a week. Next week I’m leaving for a beach vacation and am thrilled with the results.

I’ve only had one minor surgery before this, but the thing I learned is that Doctors rarely tell you any of the downsides you will experience after the surgery. You only get one shot at an operation and … Read the Rest

Ned G’s THR Anterior Approach by Dr. Kreuzer 2006

Total Hip Replacement Posted on December 4, 2015 by Patricia WalterMarch 31, 2018

Original Article  http://www.stefankreuzermd.com/ned-testimonails.html

It seems like a miracle. I had osteoarthritic pain for the last 4 – 5 years in my left hip. I had been to two other orthopaedic surgeons in Austin, Texas who told me I needed a hip replacement. This was prior to the anterior approach and I just kept putting it off waiting for something better and was just less active to keep the pain down.

Then we moved to the Houston area and it turned out our next door neighbor’s son was a representative for Stryker Hip Replacement joints. He told me Doctor Stefan Kreuzer

Lyn M’s Anterior Approach THR with Dr. Kreuzer 2008

Total Hip Replacement Posted on December 4, 2015 by Patricia WalterMarch 31, 2018

Original Article http://www.stefankreuzermd.com/lynn-testimonails.html

I’m 48 years old and just had my hip resurfaced using the anterior approach on 11/3/08 by Dr. Stefan Kreuzer. I spent some time on the surfacehippy website to educate myself prior to my surgery which helped a lot. I do however feel very little is mentioned about the anterior approach which I believe is just as important technology as is the resurfacing.

I can’t thank you enough for returning me to an active life style.

In the last 3 plus years my left hip bone had degraded to the point that I was in restrictive pain … Read the Rest

Lisa E’s THR with Anterior Approach 2008

I had avn in my left hip; when I started to consult surgeons I was told that I was not a candidate for resurfacing as the femur head had collapsed. I would have preferred to have a resurfacing. But I knew the extent of the damage from looking at my MRI and felt that the surgeons were correct.

While I experience a loss of ROM and functional abilities, I never had a lot of pain with the avn. I didn’t have x-rays taken early on. If I had, resurfacing would have been an … Read the Rest

Original Article http://www.stefankreuzermd.com/testimonials.html

Don B.

I have had both hips replaced, the first ten years ago utilizing the posterior approach. The recovery was very difficult. I was on crutches for about 6 weeks and went through several months of painful rehabilitation. In 2007 I had to have my other hip replaced. However, thanks to Dr. Stefan Kreuzer and his anterior approach, things were much different. I walked out of the hospital less than 2 days after surgery using only a cane for stability. My rehab was to walk 20 to 30 minutes twice a day. 6 weeks after surgery I … Read the Rest

Anterior Approach – New approach to an old procedure  Updated 5/6/07

Just hours after Dr. Dick Wallin had his right hip replaced, he stood up. The next day, he used a walker to “cruise around the nurses’ station” at St. Mark’s Hospital, and shortly after that he learned to use crutches on a stair exercise machine.When he went home on day three, he needed only one crutch, which he discarded a week later. Within a couple of weeks, he was walking down his long driveway to retrieve the newspaper and the mail. He was also … Read the Rest
